After two successful MDR certifications each in the spine and hip area, the first MDR certificate for a knee implant system has now followed. This means that our modular knee arthrodesis KAM-TITAN is also certified in accordance with the MDR (Medical Device Regulation). Of note, patient-matched KAM monoblock variants are also covered within this certification.
Our thanks go to the dedicated team, whose outstanding performance enabled us to achieve this goal in the first place. Congratulations!

The surface roughness of the implant has a major influence on osseointegration. The advantage of a roughened surface structure is illustrated by an experimental study conducted by Katharina Tscheu at the Department of Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery of the University Hospital Düsseldorf. It shows that human osteoporotic cells grow particularly well on a roughened titanium surface. The results will be presented at the OSTEOLOGIE 2023 congress on 23 June in Salzburg.

British researchers have found that the clinical success of implants is also determined by the genetics of the patient. At least 10% of individuals of European descent have genetic characteristics that contribute to their immune system attacking the tissue surrounding the cobalt-chromium prosthesis. Remarkably, about 20% of all knee replacement patients complain of chronic discomfort and are dissatisfied with their prosthesis.
The best preventive measure from a material point of view is the hypoallergenic all-ceramic knee prosthesis BPK-S Integration Ceramic, which has been proven to offer high immuno-allergological compatibility. It is a suitable, safe option for patients with an allergy or intolerance to cobalt-chromium alloys.

New study findings published in The Bone & Joint Journal: The metal ion level (cobalt, chromium) in the blood serum of patients treated with BPK-S Integration hinged TKA was significantly lower compared to the GenuX TKA. Ceramic (titanium nitride) coated knee implants showed no improvements and thus no benefit in terms of metal ion concentration. A significant improvement in outcome scores and pain levels was achieved in all groups, regardless of metal ion level.

MRS-TITAN Standard and Maximum are cementless modular revision cups made of proven biocompatible titanium alloy for complex acetabular defects (Paprosky type I-IIIb), offering a high degree of flexibility with the optimal choice of sizes and diameters. The open-pored trabecular surface structure, the screw fixation of the anatomical straps and the modular iliac peg (MRS-TITAN Maximum) enable very good primary and secondary stability.
This is illustrated by the example of an revison case kindly made available by Ulrich Simon, MD (head of orthopaedic department, St. Franziskus-Hospital Münster, Germany).
