MISHA KNEE SYSTEM

The MISHA Knee System is an implantable shock absorber designed to relieve pain and improve function in patients with medial knee osteoarthritis. The MISHA Knee System acts like a car shock absorber, reducing the peak forces on painful knee joints during routine activities such as walking, running, or simply standing. The device is placed under the skin but outside the joint during a minimally invasive outpatient procedure.

How Does the MISHA Knee System Work?

Overloading the knee joint can lead to the initiation or progression of osteoarthritis.1 Unloading the joint can lead to a reduction in pain and symptoms. When you are walking or simply standing, the shock absorber of the MISHA Knee System will compress and reduce peak forces on the knee by over 30%.2

Is MISHA Right for You?

MISHA Knee replacement offers a minimally invasive approach for persistent pain in the inner part of your knee (medial compartment). If you answer yes to the following questions, you may be a good candidate for the MISHA procedure:

  • Does your pain level limit your daily activities?
  • Are you suffering from knee pain despite already trying medication, knee injections, physical therapy, or off-loader braces?
  • Are you looking for an alternative to knee replacement surgery? 

Dedicated to helping patients experience relief, our board-certified orthopedic surgeon Dr. T. Lisle Whitman proudly offers the MISHA Knee System to help you move past knee pain and get back to your favorite activities.
