Ralph Dreitzler

As a dressage instructor, Ralph Drietzler knows the importance of being light and quick on your feet around horses. After having one knee replaced with an off-the-shelf implant (and being unhappy with the results), Ralph decided to speak with Dr. Vincent Santoro about a custom-made solution.

Rhianna Ryer

As a spin, dance and yoga instructor, Rhianna was used to a high level of activity before her arthritis became bone-on-bone. When she could no longer make it through a class, or even drive between studios without stopping to ice her knee, Rhianna discussed the option of a total knee replacement with her surgeon.

Irene Passani

Before her surgery, the pain in Irene’s knee was so agonizing that she couldn’t do many of the things she loved, which included running, biking, and kickboxing. Irene received a Conformis iUni partial knee replacement in her right knee. Post-surgery, Irene is back biking three to four times a week and kickboxing.

Elaine enjoyed hiking and took both ballet and modern jazz dance classes before she suffered a knee injury while at the gym. Her knees continued to degrade over the next 10 years to the point where she could barely walk. After receiving 2 custom-made knees, she is back to her active lifestyle.
