Welcome to Wright's CONSERVE® PLUS Resurfacing Implant Patient Area
This area was designed exclusively for patients who have an interest in Wright's
new CONSERVE® PLUS Total Hip Resurfacing Implant.
Unlike a total hip replacement, a surface replacement leaves more of your
bone in place and does not remove your femoral neck shaft. By saving all of this
vital bone stock, you are able to more accurately reproduce your natural anatomy
and, subsequently, your natural gait.
Wright's new CONSERVE® PLUS Total Hip Resurfacing Implant has many
advantages:
- Preserves bone
- More accurately reproduces a patient's anatomy
- Increases range of motion (ROM)
- Contains no plastic parts
- Allows patients to maintain an active lifestyle
- Allows easy revision (if necessary) since it does not violate the femoral
canal
Reva's corner:
Decreased risk of hip dislocations is the number one reason patients want a resurfacing. Unlike a total hip replacement, your doctor will typically not place recovery precautions on your lifestyle and allow you to resume activities that you were involved in before having to have hip surgery.
If your doctor decides that total hip resurfacing is best for you, you are taking the first step toward recurring to your daily routine and an active lifestyle, without the pain and stiffness you experienced before your surgery.
Thanks to the right (WRIGHT) design team, engineering, materials and surgical techniques for the right candidate, your orthopaedic surgeon is able to simply resurface you diseased hip and avoid a total hip replacement.
Learn about our new technique, find out if you are a candidate, and read
about pre- and post-surgery expectations, risk of dislocation, and study results.
