MISHA Knee System
What is the MISHA Knee System?
The MISHA Knee System is an implantable shock absorber that is designed to relieve pain and improve
function in patients with medial knee osteoarthritis. The MISHA Knee System works like a car shock
absorber, reducing the peak forces on painful knee joints during activities such as walking, running, or
simply standing. The device is placed under the skin, but outside the joint, during an outpatient
procedure.
How Does it Work?
Overloading the knee joint can lead to the initiation or progression of osteoarthritis.
Unloading the joint can lead to a reduction in pain and symptoms. When you are walking or simply standing, the shockabsorber of the MISHA Knee System will compress and reduce peak forces on the knee by over 30%.
Is MISHA Right for Me?
If you suffer from pain in the inner half of your knee (medial compartment), you may benefit from
the MISHA procedure. Answering yes to the following questions suggests you may be a
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 not ready for knee replacement surgery?
