Advantages of CONSERVE® Plus Technique
CONSERVE® PLUS has the largest regulated clinical trial for resurfacing ever performed in the US, with more than 1300 patients enrolled. To date, the overall survivorship of CONSERVE® PLUS implants is 97%.3 Almost all the patients enrolled in the study have returned to their active lifestyles without pain.
The CONSERVE® PLUS implant is a wonderful option to total hip replacement.
It contains no plastic parts and allows patients to maintain their active
lifestyles. Advantages include:
- Bone stock conservation and preservation
- Biological bone preservation and normal joint physiology
- Improved stability
- Minimal morbidity
- Revisability
These advantages have been cited by Dr. Harlan Amstutz in the abstract "Advantages of Metal-on-Metal Hybrid Resurfacing (CONSERVE® PLUS)", which he presented in January 2004. Dr. Amstutz is the recognized world leader in total resurfacing arthroplasty.
