Wright Medical Introduces REPIPHYSIS® Expandable Technology
This area of our website is dedicated to those patients and parents battling bone cancer.
The only noninvasive expandable endoprosthesis available in the US, the REPIPHYSIS® Expandable Implant is able to "grow" inside the child by using an electromagnetic field. For young bone cancer patients, REPIPHYSIS® Expandable Implant is revolutionary. A common treatment for bone cancer is to remove the affected bone and replace it with an endoprosthesis or amputation. For skeletally immature patients, traditional endoprostheses require repetitive and traumatic surgeries in order to maintain equal limb length. Wright's REPIPHYSIS® Expandable technology was developed to eliminate this need.
In this section you can learn about REPIPHYSIS® Expandable Implant as well as bone cancer, tumor locations, and treatment options. You can also contact us and find a surgeon near you with our online physician locator.
