Medical Problem

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative arthropathy characterized by episodes of acute pain, and one of the most common chronic musculoskeletal conditions.

16% of the European population suffer from Osteoarthritis. Two and half millions of them get TEP replacement/year with a cost of EUR 85B+ a year. In the past 5 years, the number of surgical operations in the endoprosthesis has increased by 80%. Rejection reaction or manifestation of hypersensitivity to the implant material is observed in 6 – 30% of cases of surgical intervention. The immune reaction is one of the causes of complications of bone tissue on implants.
