Orthopedic surgeon Anthony Levenda, MD, is the first physician in Indiana to complete a procedure with the newest generation of the Misha knee system.
The system is an implantable shock absorber designed to reduce pain associated with osteoarthritis while preserving the natural joint, according to an April 20 news release from Lakeshore Bone & Joint Institute.
The Misha implant provides an alternative to a total knee replacement for patients who have not had success with conservative treatments.
Dr. Levenda performed the procedure at Lakeshore Surgicare, an ASC located in Chesterton, Ind., the release said.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
