Take the MyOrthotype test to improve the likelihood that you are genetically compatible with your joint replacement implant and lower your risk of a potential adverse reaction.

Modern joint replacements can improve patients' lifestyles through a significant reduction in pain and improvement in their range of movement.

Recovery from a major operation can be challenging, here are some useful tips which can help you towards your recovery.

12 years of dedicated research and analysis of explants at Europe’s largest independent retrieval unit has made our revolutionary MyOrthotype test possible, allowing us to screen patients for potential adverse immune responses to implants containing the metal cobalt chrome.

At our lab in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, we are pioneering genetic research in orthopaedics to contribute to the growing field of personalized medicine. With patient health and wellness at the forefront of everything we do, we focus on driving improved orthopaedic care outcomes.

A successful joint replacement can last well over a decade and provide a considerable return of movement, as well as significant pain relief.

However, recent research has found that roughly 1 in 5 people carry a variation of the gene that increases the risk of developing a metal hypersensitivity reaction to their new artificial joint if it is made with parts that contain cobalt chrome.

By screening patients for genetic compatibility with implants containing cobalt chrome, MyOrthotype can contribute towards a successful procedure and a less impaired lifestyle.

20/07/2023

Joint replacement is considered major surgery, so the procedure is usually only recommended if other treatments, such as physical therapy or steroid injections, have not reduced pain or increased mobility.

Consider taking the MyOrthotype test prior to undertaking surgery. A simple saliva swab can help determine which type of implant you should receive and may avoid future complications.

The MyOrthotype test can determine if you, or the person you care for, carry the genes that place you at higher risk of joint implant failure.

Having that information will aid in making an informed choice about implant options, which can improve the performance of medical implants and enhance patients' lives.

MyOrthotype is a valuable additional resource to shape a more personalised care plan in collaboration with your healthcare professional.

Our aim is to improve patient outcomes and reduce the burden on the NHS by creating positive initial outcomes from joint replacement surgery and reducing the need for revision procedures.

MyOrthotype can determine the likelihood that you carry the gene for metal hypersensitivity, which can cause inflammation and pain to develop after your joint replacement surgery.

If the test results reveal that you carry the "at-risk” gene, you and your surgeon can consider using an alternative joint replacement that has fewer (or no) parts composed of cobalt chrome metal.

Unfortunately, there is nothing that can absolutely guarantee successful joint replacement surgery. However, MyOrthotype is a valuable tool to shape a more personalised care plan with your healthcare professional, enabling an informed discussion before joint implant selection and surgery.

04/02/2023

Figures from the Royal College of Surgeons suggest that up to 16,225 people wait beyond two years for knee or hip replacements.

Our aim is improve patient outcomes by reducing the need for post-operative chronic pain management or additional surgery down the line, to reduce the burden of joint replacement surgery on patients, their caregivers and the NHS.

With no two people the same, we help to create a more complete patient picture to increase your chances of successful surgery.
