Conformis Knee Replacements
Custom-made implants are designed to mimic every aspect of your natural knee. A CT scan and a 3D model are used to restore your natural shape, corrected for any deformity rather than replacing it with a pre-determined, standardized geometry. This results in less pain and recovery time.
