ReCerf® Ceramic Hip Resurfacing

The ReCerf® Ceramic Hip Resurfacing system offers a sophisticated alternative to traditional hip replacements, focusing on preserving natural bone and ensuring superior mobility with reduced dislocation risk. The ReCerf® implant is a cemented femoral head ceramic-on-ceramic option designed for those wishing the latest technology based on well established surgical techniques.
