Prof Walter implanted the first Ceramic resurfacing device (ReCerf) in Australia in 2018.
Over the last 6 years he has done approximately 250 ceramic resurfacing procedures on suitable patient’s with good results.
The ReCerf Resurfacing hip arthroplasty is similar in design to the metal-on-metal resurfacing devices, however the ReCerf is manufactured from BIOLOX delta ceramic creating a ceramic-on-ceramic resurfacing hip, which eliminates the metal ion risks associated with the metal-on-metal designs. The ReCerf 3-year patient outcomes presented in the 2024 AOANJRR Report are far superior to metal-on-metal resurfacing hip devices and total hip replacements.
