Opis

The most up-to-date scientific and clinical information regarding the use of ceramic solutions to address wear-related problems in Orthopedic Surgery. The Symposium marks a very special and long awaited event: The approval for sale of the Biolox Wear couple by the Food and Drug Administration. This approval was made possible by the overwhelming proof of Safety and Effectiveness compiled by the clinical investigators and the American Orthopedic Implant companies over the last 7 years. A significant step forward towards the increasing acceptance of ceramic solutions in the USA.
