Uniglide Mobile Bearing Knee Replacement
Dr. Stefan Kreuzer located in
Houston Texas, one of the co-lead investigator in the Uniglide
Mobile Bearing Partial Knee Replacement
study, implanted his first study patient
on December 1, 2008.
The Uniglide Mobile Bearing Partial
Knee Replacement System is currently in
clinical trials to provide data for
application to FDA for approval in the
USA. The clinical study has been
designed to enroll 420 patients at up to
18 investigational sites. Surgeons are
selected based upon experience with
partial knee replacement. The
investigational Mobile Bearing partial
knee replacement is being compared to a
Fixed Bearing partial knee replacement
that is already FDA cleared for the USA
market.
Dr. Kreuzer graduated from medical
school at the University of Texas in San
Antonio in 1995. He went on to do his
orthopedic residency at Galveston and
completed a Fellowship in Joint
Reconstruction at the Baylor College of
Medicine in Houston, Texas in 2001. He
has six publications with several
appearing in peer review journals. Dr.
Suneel Kumar, Research Associate, and
Melinda Tindel, Clinical Research
Coordinator, will provide research staff
support for Dr. Kreuzer for the Uniglide
clinical study.
