A device to reshape and resurface joints with osteoarthrosis

Summary:
A device that creates an articial space joint by reaching the hip joint from behind allowing the joint to move freely without pain.
This device is inserted with minimal invasive surgery and by using endoscopy it is possible to reshape and resurface a joint

Full Description:
This device intends to eliminate the drastic and agressive surgery for metal total hip prosthesis, avoiding the removal of the head and neck of the femur thus preserving the capsule and blood supply to the joint.
This device is a telescopic double screw inserted as a pin in the hip joint until it reaches the space joint. The outer screw has a system to grasp securely the bone.
The inner telescopic screw has a distal portion or head which protrudes in the space joint , providing an artificial space joint and avoiding friction of rough surfaces. This head has several options such as an inflatable one which can cushion the space joint or compress in situ the resurfacing materials.
Using endoscopy it is possible to reshape the rough surfaces of a deteriorated joint and resurface them with biomaterials or stem cells.
By compressing the resurfacing biomaterials in the joint will enable the patient to move while the biomaterials fuse with bone, this avoids months of inmovilisation and opens a different kind of therapy for osteoathrosis in the elderly with a minimal invasive surgery
