Performance Orthopedics of the Palm Beaches to Host Clinical Trial of FDA Approved Personalized Knee Implant
April 26, 2011 | PALM BEACH, Fla.–(EON: Enhanced Online News)–Dr. Gregory Martin of Performance Orthopedics of the Palm Beaches is participating in a ten year follow-up trial of the ConforMIS iUni® G2 knee resurfacing device, an FDA cleared implant for patients with osteoarthritic damage in a single compartment of the knee.

“We are eager to take part in the iUni trial, which is designed to evaluate the long-term performance of this customized approach to unicompartmental knee replacement in treating osteoarthritis,” said Dr. Gregory Martin, Principal Investigator of the clinical trial at Performance Orthopedics of the Palm Beaches. “This clinical trial will be an important step to showcase the long-term impact that this personalized approach will deliver to our patients.”
