Here is a great video from ABC News featuring Dr. Ernie Eggers and his patient, NBA Champion with the Boston Celtics & NCAA Champion with the University of Kentucky Wildcats, Rick Robey. Mr. Robey received the Conformis Custom Knee Replacement from Dr. Eggers and was playing up to five rounds of golf shortly after! What is also interesting is that Mr. Robey received an off-the-shelf knee replacement five years ago and he makes it a point to mention how much faster his recovery was with the Conformis Custom Knee Replacement.
