RECLAIM is a one-stage innovative procedure for hip and knee that enables tissue growth and restoration of cartilage in the patient's joint. Within one year, the defect is filled. DNA analysis has shown this to be patient-derived new cartilage tissue without donor DNA remaining.

Implant survivorship at a mean of 10 years was reported in a Level I RCT that investigated 3 different TKA implant designs: a traditional modular cemented tibia, a hybrid monoblock tibia, and a cementless monoblock tibia. The hybrid and cementless groups each had 96% implant survivorship.
Minimally-invasive quadriceps-sparing total knee replacement is a new technique for implanting well-tested total knee replacement components while minimizing post-operative pain and the time to full recovery.
Total knee replacement (also called knee arthroplasty) is a common orthopaedic procedure that is used to replace the damaged or worn surfaces of the knee.
