The comments made or views expressed in the following videos reflect the experiences and opinions of those involved and do not necessarily represent the opinions of Orthopedic Sciences, Inc. (OSI). These patient testimonials are for information purposes only. They do not represent medical advice of any kind or a recommendation for any medical procedure nor a point of comparison to anything whatsoever, to include dialogue about recognized treatment for Osteoarthritis (OA), Avascular Necrosis (AVN), or Atypical AVN.
The surgeon must always rely on their professional judgment when deciding to use or not use a given OSI product. Orthopaedic patient care is unique to the patient receiving treatment; thus, the surgeon must always refer to the package insert and the instructions before using OSI’s products. Individual results will vary, and not all patients will experience the same outcomes. Product availability is subject to local hospital buying guidelines and the interests of the treating physician, as OSI’s products are Class 1 and Class 2 devices. A physician’s professional opinion may be contradictory to the procedures described in the patient testimonials. That said, the patient testimonial combined with the references on our web page could serve as an opportunity to learn more about OA and AVN at a fundamental level. Untoward or favorable dialogue, on the part of a physician, unsubstantiated by prior surgical experience with any of OSI’s products, is discouraged. To perform an Intraarticular or Intraosseous Saucerization or give opinions thereon, the treating surgeon must first read the references provided to broaden one’s understanding of OA, AVN, and Atypical AVN. Unfavorable outcomes and opinions will follow a failure to do so. Please contact your OSI representative or customer service if you have questions about the availability of products in your area.
Patient images, videos, and testimonials are used only after obtaining written authorization from the patient. None of the patients were compensated for the time they took to share their personal experiences, and background images or scenery considered influential or favorably motivating to a viewer were intentionally avoided.
