🪥 Bone Integration: Hydroxyapatite #JointReplacement Coating . Your bones have their own natural “welding” technology. Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is a mineral, naturally found in human bone, that acts like a biological bridge between metal implants and your body’s own tissue. When surgeons press-fit an HA-coated implant, your bone cells recognize this coating as “home” and begin growing directly into the implant surface. HA coating creates thousands of microscopic anchor points, essentially turning your implant and bone into one unified structure. Clinical studies show impressive results: HA-coated implants demonstrate superior stability compared to uncoated options, with excellent long-term outcomes. For younger, active patients, this means getting back to their lifestyle faster and with more confidence. #hipreplacement #kneereplacement . Biological or “cementless” fixation is often stronger than traditional cement. Within weeks of surgery, new bone growth creates a natural, lasting bond. This integration helps reduce complications and promotes longer implant life - a win-win for both patients and surgeons. Better implant integration can mean: - Faster recovery times - Improved stability - Longer-lasting results - Better outcomes for active patients - Reduced risk of implant loosening . 👇 WHAT questions do you have about cementless Hip/Knee Replacement? . . 🎥 credits @lucas_wochter - hip implant, @thebonesurgeon - knee implant
