Orteq patients' story - Peter Knippenberg

Peter Knippenberg is a senior NCO with the Belgian Air Force and had always enjoyed a very active lifestyle filled with sport. He would play soccer 2 to 3 times a week but suffered a bad tackle one afternoon that damaged his ACL and tore his meniscus. He learned about the Actifit clinical trials from the Belgian media and made contact with Prof. Rene Verdonk of UZ Gent Hospital. The risks of the clinical trial were explained to Peter and he opted to proceed with the surgery. It was decided to implant Actifit in the first surgical procedure and then re-construct the ACL 4 months later once the critical rehabilitation period for the meniscus had been completed. The ACL rehabilitation also took several months but now, a year on, Peter is back to full duties and can be found on the sports field once more. He plays soccer twice a week, cycles, runs and attends spinning classes.
