ReCerf Hip Resurfacing Arthroplasty, from MatOrtho Becomes the World’s First All-Ceramic Hip Resurfacing Approved by a Regulatory Authority

Groundbreaking Innovation Receives TGA Approval in Australia

LEATHERHEAD, England, Dec. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — MatOrtho, the UK-based global innovator of hip and knee replacement devices, today announced that the ReCerf® Hip Resurfacing Arthroplasty has become the world’s first all-ceramic hip resurfacing system to receive regulatory approval. Approval from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in Australia marks a transformative moment for joint replacement technology and patient care.

“This is a monumental achievement not only for MatOrtho but for the field of orthopaedic surgery,” said Oriol Millet-Lopez, Interim CEO at MatOrtho. “ReCerf represents the culmination of years of innovation and dedication to improving patient outcomes. TGA approval underscores the system’s proven early performance and potential to redefine hip replacement globally.”

Exceptional Clinical Outcomes

The ReCerf Hip Resurfacing System has been delivering exceptional outcomes for patients since September 2018. With over 1,200 patients having received the device, fewer have required further operation than usually anticipated with traditional hip replacement and preexisting hip resurfacing devices at this timepoint1. Both male and female patients, many who are relatively young and engage in high-level sports, are returning to their active lives without limitations1. In this year’s Annual Report, the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry (AOANJRR) has reported ReCerf to have a revision rate of just 0.3% (95% confidence intervals 0.0% to 2.1%) at three years2.

A World-First Achievement with Global Implications

TGA approval for ReCerf marks the first regulatory authorisation of its kind globally, setting the stage for further advancements in hip resurfacing technology. MatOrtho continues to work with the Australia Prosthesis List Advisory Committee (PLAC) to have ReCerf included on the next prosthesis list. They are also actively engaged in regulatory approvals in other key markets, to bring the benefits of Ceramic-on-Ceramic Hip Resurfacing with ReCerf to many more patients with the appropriate indications.

Mike Tuke, Founder of MatOrtho (formerly Finsbury), added: “ReCerf’s all-ceramic ‘delta’ composition avoids concerns over metal implants, offering a safe and effective alternative to patients who can maintain more of their native hip and potentially avoid needing a conventional stemmed total hip replacement at all. ReCerf is highly attractive to surgeons specialising in the demanding hip resurfacing operative technique. Both surgeons and patients can pursue this with confidence, knowing it comes from the company recognised as the home of modern hip resurfacing.”
