VOT Arthroscopic Solutions was founded in 2005 by Dr. Ron Clark, a practicing orthopedic surgeon in Indiana. The company's focus has been on the the design and development of an arthroscopically placed partial knee implant providing a less invasive option for patients needing a partial knee or potentially as an early alternative to total knee replacement.

After several years of partial knee product design, testing and regulatory submissions, the company successfully launched the first arthroscopically assisted uni-knee in December of 2008, called the VOT Solo™ Partial Knee. The partial knee surgery is completed through a very small incision with minimal bone resection to reduce soft tissue trauma in an effort to minimize recovery and rehabilitation time.

In addition to the small incision for this partial knee surgery and the conservation of native bone, the company has developed a patent pending VOT LiquiFlo™ Cementing Technology. This improved cement interdigitation with the native bone and improved mechanical stability provide an improved pull-off strength compare to that of tradition thumb pack techniques used by other devices in the industry.
