Saturday, November 8, 2025
This week marked a proud major milestone — Dr. Byington became the first surgeon in Nebraska to perform a knee arthroscopic MACI cartilage transplant procedure for a femoral condyle lesion. Traditionally done through a larger open incision, he completed this groundbreaking cartilage restoration entirely arthroscopically, using a minimally invasive approach that reduces recovery time and surgical impact. Only a select few surgeons worldwide have performed this advanced technique. This innovative step forward represents a huge win for patients with knee cartilage injury or arthritis, offering a faster, less invasive path to healing and joint preservation. The future of knee surgery in Nebraska just got even brighter.
