Summary: At 69 years of age, Roger was a competitive cycler and avid skier. But years of injuries caused pain and permanent damage to his knee. He decided to have a total knee replacement with Wright Medical's ADVANCE® Medial-Pivot Total Knee System. Because it is designed to provide a naural range of motion, and over time the bone grows over the knee implant in a process called osteointegration, it is very durable and long-lasting. It is a great option for competitive athletes and other physically active patients. |
