There isn’t a good orthopedics solution for every patient—particularly in hips.
Traditional ball-and-socket implants face persistent failure modes that remain unsolved despite more than two million total hip arthroplasties (THA) performed globally each year:
Dislocation continues to be a primary driver of early revision.
Polyethylene wear debris induces osteolysis and late aseptic loosening.
Motion restrictions force high-demand, active patients or those requiring deep flexion (squatting, cross-legged sitting) to sacrifice range of motion when fitted with constrained components.
The Problem: The Stability–Durability–Mobility Triangle
Patients requiring high flexion or presenting high dislocation risk—including chronic dislocators and post-spinal-fusion patients—face significant compromises.
Dual-mobility and constrained liners reduce dislocation rates but introduce secondary wear interfaces and unnatural kinematics.
Edge-loading and cross-shear continue to degrade implant longevity, limiting the potential for a true lifetime implant in younger, active populations.
