Years of rigorous dancing had taken a toll on her back and knees. A back injury suffered during a dance session had altered the alignment of her right leg.

Despite enduring years of pain, she has managed to maintain her flexibility, and zeal for the art to remain fit as an instructor and nutrional counselor. When the arthritic pain in both knees started to cramp her over the last year, she wanted pain relief. Not only that she wanted to maintain the flexibility in her knees after a knee replacment. She wanted flexible knee joint replacements and a surgeon who could offer this in India as surgeons quoted a exorbitant price back home in the US. The recent availability of the Gender specific High flexion knee replacement in India came as a huge boon for her as she could get the most modern innovation in knee replacements at a very affordable cost.
After scouring the internet for full bending Knee replacements she found this Indian Doctor as on of the few offering the procedure.

Two weeks later, when she had gained some strength and flexibility, she chose to have the other knee also replaced.

"Her dietary habits and rigorous exercise have helped her to maintain her fitness and it is only appropriate that she gets back the much desired flexibility in her operated knees, says Dr.Venkatachalam.

This was possible through the Gender specific knee implant or prosthesis.
The Gender specific knee is a special implant designed specifically to the shape of the female anatomy and confers full flexibility after a total knee replacement in women unlike a general Uni sex prosthesis which could stuff the knee and cause pain from pressure on the tendons. An additional advantage was that her knee cap could track in the anatomical fashion enabling her to stand on tip toe for dance movements.
Strongly motivated women like Franca who desire full function will enjoy the full benefits of this modern implant.
Franca is very upbeat after her operation and plans to make a comeback to the dance floor and also learn to play the Cello.
