Custom Implants
Implants for hips, knees and shoulders customized to conform to your unique anatomy.
Hip, Knee and Shoulder Implants Customized to Your Anatomy
At Brigham and Women's, we're dedicated to offering the most innovative, state-of-the-art options to our joint replacement patients, including the use of custom-designed hip, knee and shoulder implants tailored specifically to fit your own natural bone structure.
Custom implants start by using CT technology to build a 3D model replica of your joint. This model is then used to create a one-of-a-kind guide and/or implant system built specifically for you. This provides more precision during surgery and a more natural fitting implant, with the goal of maximizing your range of motion and function.
We currently offer custom implants for select knee, hip and shoulder replacement candidates. Ask about our custom implant options when scheduling an appointment or virtual visit.
