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 in hope of experiencing less pain after knee replacement surgery.
Watch as he compares the function of his off-the-shelf knee to his Conformis knee!
