The Klassic® Femur with Aurum® Technology features the same patented geometry and articulation as the Klassic® Femur and offers a revolutionary ballistically bonded titanium nitride (TiN) surface to provide a premium implant without the deliberate addition of common metal sensitizers such as nickel, cobalt, and chromium.

Aurum® is the first step as part of TJO’s multiyear plan to reduce the use of Cobalt Chrome in orthopedic implants; it uses a patented ion beam enhanced deposition (IBED) process to create a well-structured, ceramicized surface layer that is interdigitated with the substrate while preserving the material and geometric properties of the implant.
Titanium is up to 50% lighter than cobalt chrome, and the Aurum® Femur offers an implant that more closely replicates the weight of native bone.
Operation Walk is a volunteer medical humanitarian organization that provides the gift of mobility through life-changing joint replacement surgeries at no cost for those in need in both the U.S. and globally. Doctors, nurses, physical therapists, and other volunteers use personal vacation time to travel and care for approximately 75 patients on each four-day trip, and work with local healthcare workers to offer follow up care. Individual patients are cared for throughout the United States on an as-requested basis.
"I was first attracted to TJO because of their affiliation with Operation Walk. The fact that they have made contributing implants to these missions a main part of their business model was very important to me. As co-leader of Operation Walk Virginia, I've been faced with the challenge of procuring implants for our missions, and knowing TJO would be supportive really aligned with my priorities." - William G. Hamilton, MD
