uncemented prosthesis

An uncemented prosthesis is a type of joint replacement designed to attach directly to the bone without using bone cement. Instead, its surface is made with a porous or textured material that encourages the natural growth of bone into the implant, creating a strong bond over time. This biological integration helps provide stability and durability for the joint, often leading to a more natural feel and longer-lasting results. It is commonly used in hip and knee replacements for suitable candidates, especially younger or more active individuals, promoting natural bone healing and secure fixation.
