restor3d shows Velora hip cup and two custom knee systems at AAHKS

restor3d is using the annual meeting of the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons to present its 3D printed joint implants. The Velora acetabular cup moves to full market release, and two patient-specific knee systems are reported as progressing. The common thread is porous printed metal structures intended to let bone grow into the implant.

Context Porous printed metal structures have an open, lattice-like surface that bone tissue can grow into, which is meant to anchor an implant biologically.
