Search for a Doctor![]() Find a DoctorEvery day, in countries around the world, new surgeons are performing
surgeries and being educated on the Arthrosurface® HemiCAP® Family of
Products. Even though the names are updated regularly, because the
number of surgeons is growing so quickly, many surgeons that have
either used the system or been trained may not yet be listed on this
website. The medical education activities usually consist of hands-on bioskills training to discuss the technique's 3 key elements: mapping the cartilage surface of the damaged joint, learning how to use the HemiCAP® system instrumentation to prepare the damaged area and the placement of the appropriate HemiCAP® resurfacing prosthesis.
