Young adults experiencing joint pain, lack of mobility and frozen knees caused by arthritis, osteoporosis, and other medical conditions that typically afflict older individuals are finding relief through a material called Oxinium, a type of oxidized zirconium. Oxinium knee joints are designed of metal composites coated with ceramic and then infused and coated with oxygen to create an extremely durable and long-lasting joint replacement.

Oxinium prosthetic joints can last nearly 90 times longer than traditional knee joints, making the implant highly acceptable for younger individuals suffering from limited range of motion, pain, stiffness and lack of mobility caused by knee injuries or medical conditions.

The Oxinium knee joint is a combination of the best in metals and ceramics that offers excellent wear resistance, created through a combination of Zirconium, of the titanium family, and Zirconia, an extremely wear resistant ceramic compound, and Zr – 2.5Nb, a zirconium metallic alloy coated with oxygen and niobium for additional strength and durability.

The procedure in the United States may cost between $65,000 and $75,000. In India, expert orthopaedic surgeons perform such procedures restore mobility and flexibility for about $10,000.
