Bio-Orthopedics

“My name is Frannie Danzinger and 2+ years ago all I wanted was a divorce from my knee. I am a physically fit and very active 50-year-old woman and I had developed a large hole in my cartilage under my patella. It was taking over my quality of life as the pain was excruciating and my activities that I loved so much, had become non-existent. After 2 years of research, meeting with various orthopaedic specialists, scientists, stem cell treatments, etc., I was introduced to Dr. Gobbi. After sharing all of my history and medical records with Dr. Gobbi and meeting with him numerous times, he was confident that he could help me and my knee, and in time, get me back to enjoying my life and physical activity again. I was terrified to go from Cleveland, OH, USA to Milan, IT to have an operation on my knee, and be away from my family for several weeks, but I trusted Dr. Gobbi. Two years later, I am so happy to say that my knee and I are besties again! I am still working on regaining strength due to atrophy of the surrounding muscles (quad, VMO, etc.), but my knee feels great and I am able to do most everything I want to do. I keep working hard at rebuilding strength and see improvements month over month. The easy answer would have been to have a knee replacement, but I knew there was a better way. A way that was natural to my body and that long-term, would help me to regain my quality of life, and love of sport, once again. Thank you Doc!”
