Surgical Risks

Ormi 

Ormi, which utilizes Sparta Biomedical's Galene platform, offers a minimally invasive approach to knee restoration. The procedure involves implanting a cartilage-mimicking device adhered to a titanium base. It provides immediate pain relief and enables rapid recovery. While Ormi carries inherent risks associated with any surgical procedure, its minimally invasive nature and streamlined approach typically result in fewer complications and faster recovery times compared to traditional interventions.

Potential Complications of Ormi Installation

As with any surgical procedure, there is a risk of infection, bleeding, or adverse reactions to anesthesia during the Ormi installation procedure. However, the risk of these complications is generally low due to the procedure's minimally invasive nature. While rare, there may be risks associated with the implant itself, such as device failure, displacement, or allergic reactions to materials used in its construction. However, extensive testing ensures FDA approved low-risk procedure and patient safety.

Total Knee Replacement Risks

Compared to total knee replacement, Ormi generally entails lower surgical risks and a shorter recovery time. Total knee replacement involves removing damaged knee joint components and replacing them with artificial implants, posing higher risks of infection, blood clots, and longer rehabilitation periods.

Partial Knee Replacement Risks

While partial knee replacement focuses on replacing only the damaged portion of the knee joint, it still carries risks similar to total knee replacement, although to a smaller extent. Compared to Ormi, partial knee replacement involves longer recovery times and potential complications associated with joint replacement.

While all surgical procedures carry inherent risks, Ormi offers a minimally invasive alternative. There are safer outcomes compared to traditional knee interventions like total and partial knee replacements.
