In contrast to other companies who have received FDA clearance based on a single doctor’s European data or who have changed product design within the same study, Wright has completed their 9 year study with the same product design in multiple centers in the USA that have involved many different surgeons. As a result, there are many surgeons who have performed many CONSERVE® PLUS Implant resurfacing procedures. Search our Physician Locator database to find a hip surgeon in your area.

Total resurfacing might seem new, but it has been around for many years. In the 1970s and '80s there were several partial and total resurfacing devices implanted around the world. Many of these devices were constructed of metal-on-plastic components and were poorly made. Osteolysis (bone degeneration) and subsequent implant loosening was the number one cause of failure in these first generation total resurfacing devices.

With the introduction of hard bearings such as metal-on-metal, there was renewed interest in total resurfacing. Today's metal-on-metal devices are manufactured with precision to allow for optimal fluid film lubrication between the two components, and the procedure uses naturally large anatomic head sizes to restore a person's natural gait. This is why we have seen markedly better results with the metal-on-metal total resurfacing, which appears to be a great alternative to metal-on-poly.

In Wright’s CONSERVE® PLUS IDE study, there have been no reports of osteolysis - with many patients out as many as 7 years from their initial surgery date.⁵

Wright makes it easier for your surgeon to revise your hip, if necessary, with their comprehensive LIFETIME SOLUTIONS™ plan for their patients.

Hip resurfacing is very popular among physicians and patients alike because of its bone-conserving nature. Preservation of both the femoral neck and head ensures an uncomplicated revision, should one ever become necessary.
