Reinventing Meniscus Treatment

The meniscus plays a critical role in the knee, including stability of the joint and shock absorbing protection. We know from scientific evidence, as well as our team’s first-hand clinical experience, that meniscus injuries present a major treatment challenge. The current standard of care for patients with ongoing symptoms is to cut out the damaged portion of the tissue (a meniscectomy). The loss of the meniscus cushion can lead to chronic pain, impaired mobility, and the early onset of arthritis over time. OrthoPreserve’s meniscus implant is intended to replace a dysfunctional meniscus to relieve symptoms and reduce the risks of accelerated joint degeneration that would normally accompany a meniscectomy.

Ultimately, our mission is to help patients return to pain-free activity, restore their quality of life, and potentially delay arthritis and the need for a total knee replacement with a far less invasive alternative - OrthoPreserve’s meniscus implant.
