James Lee Pace, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon and director of the Sports Medicine Program at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles in a statement said that the NovoStitch Plus meniscal repair system represents a significant improvement to one of the most innovative technologies developed for knee procedures in many years.
“The NovoStitch device has allowed me to preserve the meniscus for many of my patients, significantly reducing their likelihood of arthritis or a total knee replacement later in life. I am looking forward to incorporating the new device into my practice,” Pace said.
