It's here! ReCerf resurfacing now available!

After years of development, testing and regulatory review, the MatOrtho ReCerf® ceramic hip resurfacing is now available for general clinical use. In this video, I explain what this means for patients, who might benefit, and why this is such an important moment for the field of hip resurfacing. As many of you know, hip resurfacing has had its ups and downs. Metal-on-metal devices were hugely promising but ultimately ran into problems. Ceramic-on-ceramic resurfacing may offer the advantages of bone preservation and excellent biomechanics without the metal-related risks we saw in the past. In this video I cover: Why ceramic bearings may be a safer long-term alternative Which patients are most likely to benefit What the early clinical data tell us How this fits into the wider “renaissance” of hip resurfacing Whether you’re a patient researching your options, a clinician keeping an eye on developments, or simply someone who enjoys learning about orthopaedic innovation I hope you find this helpful. If you’re considering hip surgery and want to learn more about resurfacing, body composition, preparation, recovery and long-term outcomes, have a look at the other videos on the channel.
