Established in 1989, Symbios boasts the largest World- Wide experience in the design and manufacture of ‘Custom’ hips, with a database of over 29,000 patients.

Symbios has developed and is currently marketing a complete range of standard implants to complement and satisfy the most rigorous demands of modern orthopaedic surgery.

Our UK office is based at the Exeter Airport Business Park. Due to the continued expansion of our business, we extended our occupancy to both the ground and 1st floor office accommodation in 2014.

The use of 3D pre-operative planning software, HipPLAN/ KneePLAN® utilising modern CT diagnostic imaging, helps our surgeons optimise implant positioning and orientation to achieve the best possible function.

HipPlan uses the images acquired during a CT examination (normally undertaken at the local hospital) to accurately plan the ensuing surgery. The restoration of equal leg lengths and muscle function and assuring stability of the ‘ball and socket’ coupling during Total Hip Replacement are three very important parameters where HipPlan can assist the expertise of the operating surgeon to optimise results. Further benefits of this planning process is to achieve the best possible outcomes including prompt discharge from hospital and return to normal activity, feeling almost ‘unaware’ of having had a hip replacement.
