Personalized Prostheses
Personalized knee prostheses
At ICATRECON, we use knee prostheses specifically designed for each patient.
These prostheses are tailored to adapt to every aspect of the patient’s natural knee anatomy.
The goal of any knee replacement is to alleviate pain and restore natural movement, allowing patients to return to their daily activities as soon as possible.
- We utilize personalized knee prostheses by conforMIS, distributed by Medcomtech.
Preservation of the natural joint line
There are two joint lines in every knee: the medial side and the lateral side, which may differ in height.
This new technique is the only technology that maintains both joint lines using customized polyethylenes that reduce wear, resulting in better adaptation to the natural function of knee movements.
Designed for optimal bone preservation
Preserving as much of the patient’s natural knee as possible is crucial. The unique design of this prosthesis ensures optimal bone preservation.
Because these prostheses are custom-made for each patient, they include an additional bevel for better adaptation to the range of motion and are thinner than standard prostheses available on the market, without compromising material strength.
Approved for use in the USA, the UK, and Germany, more than 100,000 units have already been implanted with excellent functional results and several advantages over conventional prostheses.
Surgical timeline
Once the surgeon and patient jointly decide that this prosthesis is the best option, the process takes just six weeks until surgery. The necessary tests for manufacturing the custom prosthesis include X-rays and a CT scan study.
This type of personalized knee prosthesis (specific to each knee) allows the orthopedic surgeons and trauma specialists at ICATRECON to achieve better outcomes in knee replacement surgeries. It reduces surgical time, minimizes surgical invasion, extends the prosthesis’s lifespan, and enhances patient satisfaction.
Hip and knee prostheses in dysplastic patients
At Icatrecon, we have been treating dysplastic patients for over 25 years.
Our experience has shown that achieving the desired results requires focusing individually on each patient as a whole, not just on their pathology or condition.
Prosthetic surgery for dysplastic adults demands precise planning and a specific selection of implants due to the unique size and shape of their joints.
We offer a wide range of possibilities since we are not bound by agreements or dependencies with any commercial company. This allows us to select the most suitable implant for each case. Additionally, custom-made implants can be prepared with prior planning.
At Icatrecon, our patient care is geared towards supporting the patient and their close circle throughout the entire process, with continuous psychological accompaniment.
Dr. Ignacio Ginebreda, director of Icatrecon, orthopedic surgeon, and traumatologist, is an expert in treating bone dysplasias and other growth disorders. He is a pioneer in the use of the intramedullary nail technique for bone elongation in Spain.
