Orthopaedic Reconstruction
Our Orthopaedic Reconstruction Business offers the widest range of joint bearing services available. From joint replacement systems for knees, hips and shoulders to trauma products that help repair broken bones.
In joint reconstruction, hip and knee implants, the company’s growth in recent years has been driven by the introduction of a unique new material in orthopaedics OXINIUM◊ Oxidised Zirconium. The company sells hips, knees and uni-compartmental knees made of this strong, hardwearing material.
We continually develop new materials and techniques to meet the growing demands of patients and hospitals for tougher, longer-lasting implants, and faster-to-heal trauma products. This makes them suitable for younger patients.
Smith & Nephew also work with surgeons to improve techniques and instruments to reduce the invasiveness and surgical time of joint replacements, resulting in faster healing and health care efficiencies.
