An orthopedic surgeon at Indiana Orthopedic Institute in Noblesville has performed the first cementless partial knee replacement in the state, according to a May 1 report from The Hamilton County Reporter.
Robert Malinzak, MD, performed the procedure at Ascension St. Vincent Fishers (Ind.) Hospital. More than 300,000 cementless procedures have been performed worldwide in the last 20 years, according to the report.
The procedure allows for the bone to grow naturally around the implant, allowing for faster recovery times and less surgical risk.
