MicroPort Orthopedics recently announced that Terry Bradshaw, one of the most recognizable personalities in professional football, recently signed an endorsement agreement to becomethe face of the company’s Evolution Medial-Pivot Knee System. An NFL Hall of Famer, 3-time Sports Emmy Award-winner, and New York Times Bestselling author, Bradshaw underwent a total knee replacement with MicroPort’s EvolutionMP Knee System in December, 2015.
 
Like many knee replacement patients, Bradshaw had been suffering with knee pain that he attempted to treat with medication, therapy and injections. “My knee pain had become so excruciating I couldn’t sleep comfortably, stand upright, or walk up and down stairs. So my doctor recommended total knee replacement surgery,” said Bradshaw. “The EvolutionMP Knee System has completely eliminated my knee pain. From walking down stairs to squatting to fishing—I can do anything I want to do!”
 
As part of the endorsement agreement, MicroPort Orthopedics will share Bradshaw’s experience with the EvolutionMP knee system to educate patients about knee replacement.
 
“Terry’s story is one that represents so many of our patients at MicroPort,” said John Matthews, Vice President of Sales & Marketing. “His experience with osteoarthritis, the EvolutionMP Knee System,and the recovery process empowers them to take their life back through knee replacement.”
 
The EvolutionMP Knee System is designed to move the way a healthy knee moves while maximizing stability and alleviating pain, achieving higher patient satisfaction than other total knee replacement designs.^1
