Marian, Two and a half years with the KineSpring^® System

Marian's work as a dog trainer can require her to run over 150 meters in a period of 30 seconds, but she suffers from painful osteoarthritis in both knees. She previously had a high tibial osteotomy (HTO) on one knee, but a long and painful recovery and diminishing pain relief discouraged her from having an HTO procedure performed on her second knee. Instead, Marian chose to have the KineSpring system implanted, and she's reported a favorable recovery period and duration of pain relief, compared to her HTO knee. She has now had her KineSpring System implant for over two and a half years, and she hopes to have a second KineSpring System placed on the knee originally treated with an HTO.
