MatOrtho’s ReCerf® Attains 5A Rating from ODEP

On May 26, 2026, MatOrtho, a leading UK-based orthopaedic device company, announced a significant milestone for its ReCerf® Ceramic Hip Resurfacing system: a prestigious 5A rating awarded by the Orthopaedic Data Evaluation Panel (ODEP). This rating, recognized as the highest possible at the five-year benchmark, highlights the impressive clinical performance and longevity of the ReCerf® system.

ODEP serves as an independent benchmarking body in the UK, focusing on assessing the clinical evidence regarding orthopaedic implants, including their survivorship and overall effectiveness over time. The ReCerf® 5A rating is supported by extensive clinical data sourced from multiple international centers. This global collaboration reflects the increasing clinical experience available for the ReCerf® system, ensuring patients receive high-quality care backed by solid evidence.

Dr. Laura Richards, Clinical Research Manager at MatOrtho, elaborated on the significance of this achievement, stating, "Achieving a 5A ODEP rating reflects both the quality of the clinical evidence supporting ReCerf and the collaborative approach taken with experienced hip resurfacing surgeons internationally." She highlighted the importance of innovations led by evidence and the role of well-informed surgeons in ensuring successful patient outcomes, as interest in bone-conserving hip arthroplasty continues to grow in select markets.

The ReCerf® system has been developed through a collaborative effort involving specialist hip resurfacing surgeons. It is complemented by a structured education pathway for surgeons, careful selection of patients, and ongoing clinical evaluations. The dual objectives of this system are to promote safe adoption of ceramic-on-ceramic hip resurfacing techniques while maintaining a sharp focus on the patient outcomes and long-term clinical efficacy. This approach has distinguished the ReCerf® system in handling both the needs of patients and the challenges faced by surgeons.

The achievement of the 5A* ODEP rating signifies MatOrtho's dedication to contributing towards advancements in the field of hip resurfacing while nurturing collaboration within the broader orthopaedic community. This includes cooperation among surgeons, clinical teams, and research partners globally. All these collaborative efforts are essential to foster the continuous progress in the area of hip resurfacing.
