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.

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.
