Call for patients for groundbreaking knee replacement surgery

Call for patients for groundbreaking knee replacement surgery

A hip and knee replacement surgeon at Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush in Illinois, is recruiting patients for a new total knee replacement procedure that preserves the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).

Craig Della Valle’s study will try to evaluate whether a new ACL-preserving, knee implant design will give patients a knee that feels more normal and natural because it is more stable.

To be considered, patients must have knee arthritis, an intact ACL, good range of motion and be within a normal weight range.
