Baywood Orthopedic Clinic, Mesa, Arizona.

Over the years, Dr. Matthews has found that his patients require special expertise when a total joint replacement is recommended. So Dr. Matthews has concentrated much of his medical effort on perfecting a “cementless” joint replacement procedure that helps return his patients to as much of their normal routine as possible.

In a typical joint replacement procedure, a special type of acrylic bone cement may be used to secure some or all of the implant SulzerLogocomponents to the bone. In other cases, the implants may be secured to the bone without cement. These components have a special porous coating that allows your own tissue to grow into it for a more natural bonding. Manufactured by Sulzer Orthopedic, the cementless joints have a pure titanium coating because the material has been found to possess biological compatibility and flexible mechanical properties.

Cementless implants are generally used for patients who have higher activity levels and good quality bone.
