This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing the MISHA Knee System, a small implant placed on the inner side of your knee to help share the load your damaged joint carries. The study compares this device against standard non-surgical treatments—like physical therapy, injections, and medications—to see which approach works better for inner knee arthritis pain that hasn't improved with conservative care.
Many people with inner knee arthritis don't get enough relief from non-surgical treatments like therapy and injections, but surgery to replace the whole knee is major and comes with its own risks. This trial exists to see if a smaller, less invasive implant might be a helpful middle option.

If you enroll, you will be randomly assigned to either receive the MISHA Knee System implant or to continue with non-surgical treatments (physical therapy, injections, medications, weight management, etc.). Those who receive the implant will undergo a minor surgical procedure. The trial will track your pain relief and knee function over time through visits and assessments to compare how well each approach works.
