This inspiring story came to Conformis from Mr. Larry Workman who is a patient of Dr. Vivek Neginhall. Mr. Workman owns and manages a 300-acre farm and vineyard that requires him to be in top physical shape. When Mr. Workman came down with osteoarthritis, he was no longer able to keep up with the farm and more importantly, he was not able to play with his grandkids the way he used to.

After cortisone injections stopped working, Mr. Workman decided it was time to look for other options to allow him to return to the active lifestyle he has always enjoyed. After doing his due diligence and researching what he could about customized knee replacement, Mr. Workman decided that Conformis was his best knee implant option.

Mr. Workman's recovery is a wonderful story. After one week post-op, he was already riding a full pedal bicycle and rarely needed a cane. This level of activity so soon after a total knee replacement surprised his physical therapist and Mr. Workman himself. Mr. Workman is now back to maintaining the active lifestyle he wants and is ready to keep up with his grandkids.

If you are in need of a total knee replacement, then please talk to your surgeon about receiving a custom-made knee implant that is only available by Conformis. If it is not Conformis, then it is off the shelf. Do not settle for average when you can have something that respects the unique geometry of your knee.
