INTERESTING FACTS
Dr. Mansmann has been a U.S. Olympic Ski Team doctor for 15 years, which has allowed him to ski most of the glaciers in Europe. He also served as an orthopaedic consultant to the Philadelphia 76ers since 2008. Dr. Mansmann has been issued 14 patents for the development of advanced innovative technologies for arthroscopic joint resurfacing.
Additionally, Dr. Mansmann has pioneered the CyborGel® Synthetic Cartilage Implant System, designated in November 2020 by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a “Breakthrough Device.” CyborGel® is a novel synthetic hydrogel cartilage implant designed for the treatment of progressive and post-traumatic osteoarthritis. The device mimics and reproduces the structure, microanatomy, and performance of natural joint cartilage.
The goals of this procedure, which is currently undergoing safety testing for future FDA approval, are to resurface the damaged articular cartilage surface with the implants to aid in functional joint restoration, reduce progressive deterioration of synovial joints, and reduce pain from bone-on-bone wear, thereby forestalling and potentially reducing the need for joint replacement.
Dr. Mansmann brings with him the most innovative and advanced technologies, in both surgical and non-surgical care, in addition to the classical techniques.
