 The LIFT implant is designed to eliminate the need for knee replacement. It elevates and realigns the patella tendon, decreases compressive foorces and shifts patellar tracking towards healthier cartilage.

The system includes trial spacers, a PEEK implant, titanium bone screws, K-wires and a proprietary positioning instrument.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
