Tibial bone loss behind a failed knee replacement.
Hip & knee revision grafts for Bon Secours Mercy Health surgeons. ACTIFUSE packs tibial defects and remodels into living bone.
You're in a revision knee at Bon Secours Mercy Health. The old baseplate comes out, and a contained tibial defect stares back. You need to fill that void so the new implant has solid support. Cement alone won't hold long term.
Tibial bone loss is common under loose knee implants. Motion and debris from the failed component eat away bone, leaving a hole behind the baseplate. That empty space must be filled. A material that packs the defect and encourages new bone growth is the right choice.
The cost depends on the defect size. One 5cc syringe of ACTIFUSE often packs a moderate contained void. Larger defects may need two or three. Each suture is billed per unit, part of the facility's surgical supply. Your Elite Surgical rep can give you case-specific numbers before the procedure.
Before your next revision, call Elite Surgical. We'll bring ACTIFUSE to your OR for a hands-on trial, train your team on mixing and packing, and show you the remodeling data. Do not leave that defect empty or fill it with cement alone. That shortcut invites early loosening and a second revision.
Once packed, the porous scaffold supports the new baseplate right away. Over the next 6 to 12 months, it remodels into the patient's own bone. The reconstruction is solid, not a temporary patch. You and your patient move on from the failure.
Other things people in Bon Secours Mercy Health ask
bone graft for tibial defect during knee revision
Pack the contained defect with a moldable bone graft substitute that has high porosity and remodels into host bone. Avoid autograft if the patient already has a second surgical site. The graft should support the new implant while healing.
bone graft substitute for large acetabular defect revision hip
Pick a graft that packs the defect well and has high porosity for bone ingrowth. ACTIFUSE's 80% porous scaffold fills contained defects and remodels into the patient's own bone as the revision heals. For very large defects, consider a moldable version like ACTIFUSE SHAPE to adapt to irregular contours. Avoid grafts that resorb too fast and leave the cup unsupported.
how to choose bone graft substitute for femoral defect revision hip
Choose a moldable synthetic bone graft substitute for irregular femoral defects. It should pack into the canal without extra instruments. Look for a graft that remodels into host bone so the area is not left with permanent filler.
how to choose bone graft femoral defect revision hip
Look for a porous scaffold that holds shape when packed and remodels over time. Match the graft format to the defect. A runny material will not stay in an open femoral defect.
bone graft substitute cost revision hip
Ask for per-cc or pack pricing, not a flat case price. Cost depends on the size of the acetabular or femoral defect. Compare synthetic graft cost to autograft, which includes OR time and a second incision.
