Itās a common misperception that #EpisealerĀ® implants can only be used on small lesions. Our knee implants, however, can be designed in different sizes and, of course, with a personalised surface based on the patientās anatomy. #kneepain#cartilage#orthopaedics#orthotwitter
Filmed one year after his #EpisealerĀ® Knee surgery. āMy knee doesnāt limit me anymore. I can do whatever I want, I can run on a daily basis, go skiing, I can play with my children and be a soccer coach again.ā Full testimonial on our website. #kneepain#orthopaedics#orthotwitter
The surgeonās thoughts on the procedure: āAfter arthrotomy I was appeased I made a good decision to choose #EpisealerĀ®. The osteochondral defect was too small to require a unicompartmental or total knee prosthesis for this young man (39 y.o.).ā #orthopaedics#orthotwitter
Did you know that more than one #Episealer® implant can be used in the same knee to treat multiple defects? This knee surgery was performed in Germany by one of our most experienced users, Professor Dr. med. Clemens Kösters. #kneepain#cartilage#orthopaedics#orthotwitter
Damaged #cartilage has limited ability to heal and can cause long-term pain ā and, if left untreated, may lead to osteoarthritis.
For patients too old for biological options and too young for UKA/TKA, the personalised #EpisealerĀ® Knee may be a suitable solution. #orthotwitter
