If you are suffering with joint disease or damage and have seen no improvement with physical therapy or medication, Dr. Vitolo may have the solution.
For you, the answer may be the arthrosurface® HemiCAP® resurfacing system – a comprehensive surgical implant solution for the treatment of lesions and defects in your shoulder or knee.
The HemiCAP system allows Dr. Vitolo to precisely align the surface of the implant with the contours of your joint, filling in any defects and restoring a smooth and continuous joint surface. These special implants are designed to match the surface and contours of the knee and shoulder joint.
The benefits of the HemiCAP technology include:
Ideal for younger patients who want to maintain an active lifestyle and thus have an increased need for joint preserving treatments
The HemiCAP can bridge the gap between “first-line” therapies and total joint replacement
Clinical studies demonstrate early positive clinical outcomes across different joints
Patients report outstanding pain relief, rapid recovery times and significant range of motion improvements in multi-center studies
Can be performed on outpatient basis
