Bio Total hip, is a innovative device with the potential of repairing
and replacing joints by accessing joints through the femur neck.
This will minimise the need to perform Arthroplasty or Total Hip
Prosthesis which then reshape and resurface the bone between
joints.
The Bio Total Hip performs arthroscopy without damaging articular
capsules by introducing biological materials between joints. This
less-invasive surgical treatment will revolutionize major hip and
major joint surgery due to its minimalistic approach. This will be
beneficial to patients suffering early stages of osteoarthrosis within
damaged joints.
Bio-Total Hip incorporates ridges on the outer member surface
which grasp the femur neck.
The inner member is telescopic and interlocks with the outer member via the ridges on its external surface. At its joint end
there is a mini head made from biological materials which sit neatly within the joint and which will then fill out the space
between the joints.
This Mini head piece can be detached and replaced by an umbrella type tool which expands and covers the head of the
femur thus mechanically resurfacing any imperfections. This will allow the joint to function as it used to.
Via Xray, a small tunnel is then drilled and directed towards the fovea of the ligamentum capitis or around the
ligament of the femur head. This creates a depression area in the insertion point of the ligament. This ligament will
be moved in order to visualise the entire hip joint as it rotated, flexed and extended.
Could this abnormal wear an tear of joint surfaces be what initiates the original lesion in the articular cartilage,
which eventually destroys the joint.
The fevoea of the ligament is a depression that does not come into contact with the Acetabulum wall, therefore
after arthroscopy it is easier to cover with bone pegs, then resurface the area with bio materials.
Arthroscopic devices inserted into the tunnel facilitate a visual inspection of the joint and localize damaged areas
withiin the articular cartilage. The use of stem cells from cultivated cartilage will allow the joint to be ‘fixed’ with
minimal effort.
In similar trans-cervical tunnels and in late osteoarthritis, its possible to insert bio materials to fill the joint space.
Bio Total Hip has the technological advantage in comparison to current surgical procedures as it removes only the
neck and head of damaged joints throughout stages of articular cartilage damage by reshaping and resurfacing
damaged surfaces, thus keeping the capsule and blood supply intact.
Utilising a visual device to resurface the joint, the need for total hip, or joint replacement surgery will be reduced
dramatically. This micro surgical procedure creates a new layer/surface to minimise friction to once again enable
smooth gliding between the joint surfaces. Flushing joints and removing foreign bodies will allow the repair of any
soft structural damage within joints and reshape the area. An inflatable bladder attached to a telescopic member
compresses the Bio material, then resurfaces the joint via an adjustable telescopic mechanism with a profiled head
.This will sit proud within the joint and create an artificial space allowing free movement of arthritic joints.
This makes it possible to repair any osteosynthesis of a fractured femur neck, after the joint turns arthritic. The
joint space is accessible when the pre-inserted pin is removed, which allows arthroscopic devices to tunnel further
towards any diseased or damaged areas. This is when repair can then be performed via the use of bio-materials.
The outer part of the device remains within the socket which is beneficial if access to the joint is needed again. This
process allows patients to be mobile soon after surgery, which is not possible with today’s current procedures.
