New Research by Dr. Berman – 1) New artificial Meniscus Implant and 2) New Cartilage repair technique.

Dr. Berman is currently involved in two new research projects. Both are FDA studies. First, he is one of only 10 study sights in the USA to evaluate a new artificial Meniscus. Used only the medial side, the device, NuSurface, was developed in Israel and has been used in Israel and Europe. The company is now trying to bring it to the USA. It replaces a medial meniscus which may have been removed earlier and the patient still has symptoms. Secondly, a new FDA study originating in Italy uses stem cells harvested from the pelvis and placed into a hyaluronic acid matrix used to treat defects in the knee joint. Dr. Berman is one of only 12 research sights in the USA.
