FH Orthopedics

The EUROCER range is a range of biphasic (HAP and TCP) synthetic bone substitutes. The porous structure of the implants and their compositions encourage vascularisation and integration. There are two types of bone substitute available :

- EUROCER 400 (granules) – interconnection of the 300 to 500 micron pores for greater bioactivity.
- EUROCER 200+ (forms) – interconnection of 150 to 300 micron pores for mechanical resistance in compression (laboratory testing) of up to 10 Mpa.

Indications

EUROCER 400

> ORTHOPAEDICS

• Benign tumours;
• Open osteotomies;
• Arthrodeses (particularly foot and ankle);
• Pseudarthroses;
• Reconstruction of acetabular cup bases;
• Revision of femoral stems.

> TRAUMATOLOGY

• Metaphyseal fractures with settling of the cancellous bone with no mechanical input required;
• Fractures on THA or TKA.

> SPINE

• Posterior and lateral arthrodeses;
• Intersomatic cages and corporectomies.

EUROCER 200 +

> ORTHOPAEDICS

• Open osteotomies;
• Reconstruction of acetabular cup bases (associated with Eurocer 400);
• Arthrodeses(associated with Eurocer 400);
• Reconstruction during revision of loosened TKA.
  

> TRAUMATOLOGY

• Fractures by compression with mechanical input desired.

The concept

Remplacement of loss of bone with a synthetic bone substitute.

The implants are biphasic (HAP + TCP) so as to provide them with the best osteoconduction, resorption and, for EUROCER 200+, mechanical resistance qualities possible.

Some works and results have suggested that these bone substitutes could have certain osteoinduction qualities too.
