BONE RESTORATION IMPLANT

The Bone Restoration Implant (BRI) developed at JPS is a revolutionary method for forming bone of a desired shape and size in cases of bone loss from accidents or tumors. The technique uses a customized prosthesis and a semirigid resorbable mesh sculpted to the shape of the bone defect to be treated.

The prosthesis is smaller in diameter than currently available tumor prostheses allowing for bone to be formed around it. The space within the mesh is filled with particulate bone graft and bone morphogenic proteins. This technique is a major advance in treating bone loss without placing large allografts or large metal tumor prostheses.

For young patients, it facilitates restoration of bone for the future.
