The Cormet Hip Resurfacing system was introduced to Europe by Corin in 1997. Now, Stryker is bringing this advanced resurfacing technology to the US.
In this innovative process, the end of the thigh bone (femur) is capped with a metal covering a strong cobalt chromium metal much like the capping of a tooth. This fits neatly into a metal cup that sits in the hip socket. Hip resurfacing is not for everyone. But the Cormet System offered by Stryker is designed for healthy, younger patients who want to get back to their normal lifestyle.
