San Diego-Based VQ OrthoCare® Showcases Award-Winning Treatment Option for Osteoarthritis of the Knee at AAOS 2011 Annual Meeting
American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Annual Meeting Draws the Brightest Minds in Orthopaedics to Share Innovation and Expertise.
San Diego, CA, February 11, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Introducing this year’s latest healthcare treatments and life-changing products, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) will hold this year’s 2011 Annual Meeting in San Diego, Calif. Recognizing the need for innovation and affordable healthcare, VQ OrthoCare® will showcase its award-winning BioniCare® Knee System and OActive™ Knee Brace as an alternative, painless treatment option for osteoarthritis of the knee. The BioniCare Knee System has changed the lives of thousands, allowing people to regain activity in their daily lives, including walking and running marathons again.
“27 million Americans are living with osteoarthritis, and this number is expected to skyrocket by the year 2030,” said Jim Knape, President and founder, VQ OrthoCare. “The BioniCare Knee System delays the need for knee surgery four years or more, offering physicians and surgeons a tremendous new treatment option for the management of osteoarthritis pain for patients who are not currently good candidates for a total knee replacement. We are thrilled to showcase BioniCare at AAOS 2011 and offer patients a life-changing treatment option for osteoarthritis.”
The BioniCare Knee System delivers a low-level pulsed electrical signal to the knee held in place on the inside of a joint unloading brace, developed specifically to treat osteoarthritis by mimicking the naturally occurring signal present in a healthy knee joint. The BioniCare Knee System delays the need for total knee replacement surgery, providing patients with the opportunity to regain mobile, active lifestyles.
