Density Enhanced X-Ray-confirmed Arthrodesis
“ONE SIZE FITS ALL” might work for your cozy blanket with sleeves, but not for your bone!
For many years orthopedic implants were developed for patients with good bone stock. Recently it has become clear that these implants have a decreased performance when implanted in bone with low density, such as in osteoporosis. Reduced performance in osteoporotic bone is not unexpected because of the reduced quality of the peri-implant bone and the reduced bone-implant contact area.
WHAT’S YOUR T-SCORE?
How do you determine what density implant you should use?
SCAN
The physician requests or performs a bone density (DEXA, DXA) scan to determine the patient's bone quality prior to surgery. (The T-score.)
MATCH
The physician picks the bone density range-matched implant.
IMPLANT
The DEXA Technology™ implant is ready to be implanted!
