MOORESVILLE, Ind. – Orthopedics
This Week magazine has named Michael Berend, MD, one of the “Top 22 North
American Knee Surgeons.”
Berend is a surgeon with Franciscan
Physician Network Joint Replacement Surgeons,
affiliated with the Center
for Hip & Knee Surgery at Franciscan St. Francis-Mooresville.
“When knee surgeons discuss their exemplary colleagues, these are the
ones they are talking about … the super elite in the knee world,” the magazine
said.
The magazine called the listed surgeons “the most impressive knee
surgeons in the country” and noted that “This information was obtained via a
telephone survey of thought leaders in the field. The information in quotes is
what we heard about these surgeons.”
The magazine further wrote of Berend: “He has done a tremendous amount of research and is a leader in
partial knee replacement and also understands what factors correlate with
long-term success or failure of primary total knees.”
Berend’s
brother, Keith, also was recognized as one of the Top 22. He is an orthopedic
surgeon with Joint Implant Surgeons in Columbus, Ohio, and a clinical assistant
professor in the Department of Orthopaedics at The Ohio State University.
