CustomHip is a Greek project aiming to create an innovative metal hip arthroplasty implant (customized to the patient’s needs) with a ceramic coating which, precisely because of the coating, will avoid all the negative effects and disadvantages of friction of metal surfaces (metal on metal) while retaining all the advantages of the surface arthroplasty method, i.e., avoiding the removal of the femoral head.
More specifically, the project aims at developing:
1. an innovative surface arthroplasty implant consisting of a metal skeleton bearing a ceramic coating,
2. an innovative implant personalization software according to the size of the patient’s femoral head in
order to achieve minimal bone removal and consequently the minimum possible duration of surgery and
recovery,
3. an innovative coating of metallic convex and hollow surfaces with ceramic pads.
