Continued
advances in bearing surface research have lead to longer life spans for
joint replacement. There are a myriad of options in hip replacement bearing
surfaces. Each has inherent advantages and potential disadvantages. Learn
more about bearing surfaces. |

Dr.
Caillouette led a team of international experts in developing the new G2
Hip Implant Prosthesis, offering advances in the two key factors in hip-replacement
efficacy: longevity of the prosthesis, and the health of the bone surrounding
it. Thousands of G2 implants have been used world wide with excellent clinical
results. Read more about the G2 implant in our news section. |

Because it is modular, the S-ROM Total Hip System offers a solution for virtually every surgical scenario--from primary THA to the most complex revision or DDH challenge. It's the only system that features independent neck positioning, enabling surgeons to place the proximal sleeve in the best possible bone stock while also adjusting the sleeve's size for optimal fit and fill. Its instrumentation delivers precise canal preparation through machining rather than broaching. And with over ten years' clinical experience, the long-term success of the S-ROM System has been well established. |

The P.F.C.“ Sigma Knee has a history of success dating back to 1984. Thousands of people have had it implanted with outstanding results. The P.F.C. Sigma knee has been designed to act much like a natural knee. The design also increases the stability of the replacement knee. The innovative design distributes pressure evenly throughout the joint, which may reduce wear and tear. Each knee is unique. To provide the best match for your knee, Dr. Caillouette can choose from a number of implant sizes and parts in the P.F.C. Sigma System. Five to 10 years after surgery, most people with P.F.C. Sigma Knee implants reported that the surgery had resulted in excellent relief of pain, improved range of motion and better function of the knee. |

For
the appropriate patient, uni-compartmental knee replacement offers several
advantages for knee arthritis patients including a smaller, less disruptive
incision, the preservation of healthy tissue and bone, and reduced blood
loss. This less invasive procedure enables the surgeon to retain almost all supporting soft tissue structures in the knee. In addition, traditional muscle incisions that extend recovery time are minimized. The visible scar from the procedure is smaller and is usually less than half of what the scar might be with a total knee replacement. Since uni-compartmental knee replacement resurfaces only 1/3 of the knee joint and modern uni-compartmental implants are thinner than total knee implants, more of the patient’s healthy bone is preserved.
