JMC is first in Florida to offer minimally invasive implant for medial knee osteoarthritis
February 27, 2026 – Jupiter Medical Center (JMC) announced today that it has completed its first implantation of the MISHA® Knee System, the first implantable shock absorber (ISA) designed to reduce load on the knee joint, relieve pain, preserve function, and potentially delay the need for total knee replacement surgery. The procedure was performed by Marc Matarazzo, MD, a board-certified and fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon.
