“Members of this prestigious group were
selected for their surgical skills and research, and we are honored to host
them at our center to learn about the work we perform,” said Michael Berend,
MD, an orthopedic surgeon with the center, a Knee Society member and an Insall
Fellow himself in 2004. “To be one of only 10 centers in the world to host the
fellowship is a great honor for us. We hope to share with them many of the
latest surgical techniques we have developed at the center.”
The Mooresville center is recognized in the
United States and the world as a premier center for joint replacement surgery.
