Superior Meniscus Treatment
Patients with symptomatic meniscus issues are left with few options to relieve their pain, restore mobility, and preserve their long-term knee health.
Conservative non-surgical treatments are largely ineffective and do not address the underlying dysfunction;
Meniscectomy (trimming) surgery provides only temporary relief and accelerates a cascade of knee degeneration;
Knee replacements are highly invasive, costly, and generally only indicated for older patients with advanced arthritis.
A significant treatment gap exists for patients with meniscus dysfunction who are not yet clinically ready for a knee replacement.
The solution to the problems with the current treatments: OrthoPreserve’s Meniscus Implant
Our implant is made from a composite material that mimics the shape, structure, and properties of natural meniscus tissue, restoring the cushioning and stabilization functions of the meniscus within the knee joint. The implant is implanted and securely fixed in the joint through a simple, minimally invasive surgery using common arthroscopic techniques.
The OrthoPreserve meniscus implant will be one of the first of its kind, and a more reliable treatment option for patients with meniscus dysfunction that are hoping to continue activities from playing sports with friends and family to simply walking their dog without pain or impairment.
