MatOrtho Announces ReCerf® 5A* ODEP Rating
ODEP is an independent UK benchmark system used to evaluate the clinical evidence supporting orthopaedic implants, including long-term survival and performance. The ReCerf 5A* rating is supported by clinical data from multiple international centers and select global markets, reflecting the system’s growing clinical experience worldwide.
This rating provides additional confidence in the growing body of evidence supporting the ReCerf ceramic hip resurfacing system and marks a significant milestone in the continued development of modern hip resurfacing systems. Dr. Laura Richards, MatOrtho Clinical Research Manager, said: “Achieving the 5A* ODEP rating reflects both the quality of the clinical evidence supporting ReCerf and the collaborative approach taken with experienced hip reconstruction surgeons internationally.” “As interest in bone-preserving hip arthroplasty continues to emerge in select markets, we believe evidence-driven innovation and responsible surgeon education remain critical to supporting successful patient outcomes.”
ReCerf was developed in collaboration with hip surgery specialists and is supported by a structured surgeon education pathway, careful patient selection, and ongoing clinical evaluation. The system is designed to support the responsible adoption of ceramic-on-ceramic hip resurfacing while maintaining a strong focus on patient outcomes and long-term clinical performance.
This achievement reflects the ongoing collaboration between MatOrtho and the broader orthopaedic community, including surgeons, clinical teams, and research partners, contributing to the advancement of hip resurfacing globally.
