A ceramic total hip implant is ideal for younger, more active patients requiring total hip replacement. The Keramos Hip Replacement Implant utilizes alumina ceramic, one of the hardest materials on earth, to provide an extremely strong and smooth implant. 

Alumina Ceramic is composed of bio-inert material, causing no adverse tissue reactions.  Laboratory and clinical testing have shown alumina ceramic-on-alumina ceramic produces almost undetectable levels of wear when compared to traditional hip implants. 

Why is this important?  Reduced wear means an implant that lasts longer and sturdier than traditional hip replacements, giving hope to younger and more active patients suffering from Osteoarthritis.

My knees had become so painful that I had to walk with a cane and I was on an aggressive pain medication. I was very limited in what I could do and I felt as if the pain was affecting my attitude toward everything. Dr. Ferro is marvelous! I felt relaxed and comfortable with him in the first visit. I was very confident in Dr. Ferro and wasn't a bit afraid. What he did for me was almost like a miracle.
