Meechie Johnson, Jr., injured his knee during playoffs for the Garfield Heights High School team in his sophomore year. As a top 30 player in the country and the No. 3 point guard, much was at stake for Meechie – including playing for a college and in professional sports. UH orthopedic surgeons James Voos, MD and Michael Salata, MD, repaired Johnson’s anterior cruciate ligment and both meniscal cartilages, allowing Meechie to continue to play – and secure a spot on the Ohio State University basketball team.
