MISHA Post-Market Clinical Study

March 31, 2026 updated by: Moximed

Post-Market Evaluation of the MISHA® Knee System for Symptom Relief in Subjects With Medial Knee Osteoarthritis

Prospective evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of the MISHA Knee System.

The study will collect data on the procedural and long-term adverse events, WOMAC pain and function scores, KSS satisfaction, subsequent surgical interventions, BMI levels, range of motion, UCLA activity level of the subjects, and perform radiographic/x-ray evaluations at clinical visits through 5 years post-procedure.

The primary analysis of this study is freedom from device- and procedure-related SSIs at five (5) years post-implantation.

This study will also assess device performance in subjects with intact and retained devices and subjects with devices removed prior to study termination and freedom from conversion to arthroplasty through 5 years.

Study subjects will be followed over a five-year post-implant period.

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Subjects aged 25 to 65 years at time of index procedure
  2. Body Mass Index (BMI) of < 35

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: MISHA Knee System
The MISHA Knee System is an extra-capsular knee implant intended to reduce loads on the medial knee. The implant consists of an absorber located between bases fixed with locking screws to the medial cortices of the distal femur and proximal tibia. The implant shares the load with the medial knee joint and articulating ball-and-sockets allow the device to accommodate the natural motions of the knee.

  • Implantable Shock Absorber (ISA)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
WOMAC Pain
Time Frame: 5 years
Percent of subjects meeting clinically meaningful improvement (defined as ≥ 10-point change from baseline) Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) was used for evaluation of pain. The responses to each question are summed and the resultant scores are transformed to a 0-100 scale. A WOMAC score of zero (0) represents no knee problems and one hundred (100) represents extreme knee problems.

WOMAC Function
Time Frame: 5 years

Percent of subjects meeting clinically meaningful improvement (defined as ≥ 10-point change from baseline).

Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) was used for evaluation of function. The responses to each question are summed and the resultant scores are transformed to a 0-100 scale. A WOMAC score of zero (0) represents no knee problems and one hundred (100) represents extreme knee problems.
