Early results with a patient specific interpositional knee device.

The iForma ConforMIS Interpositional knee device is a recently developed patient specific implant used for the treatment of mild to moderate uni-compartmental osteoarthritis. The benefits over traditional methods of surgical management are: it is less invasive, can be performed as a day procedure and does not limit future options. Bespoke implants are produced from data extracted from MRIs.

Carboplatin and paclitaxel for the treatment of advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer.
