About

Orthopedic Sports Medicine, Cartilage Repair and Transplant

I recently performed a new type of cartilage transplantation, the BioUni procedure. Bio Uni is a new way of transplanting cartilage from a cadaver into a patient's damaged knee. Dr. Adler is one of the first Wisconsin surgeons to have ever performed this procedure. One of my patients was interviewed in August 2016 by a local Milwaukee TV station to discuss his clinical progress. My practice is focused on sports medicine, arthroscopic surgery of the shoulder, hip and knee, as well as cartilage repair and transplantation. I also perform total shoulder replacements including a stemless design, anterior total hip replacements, and navigated total knee replacements.
