New knee: Martin chases after falcons again
Just as a goalkeeper leaps after a ball, a falconer dives after his bird of prey when it has killed its prey. In this way, he supports the animal during the hunt. However, with severe osteoarthritis in his knee, this was no longer possible for Martin Ranzenhofer (61). A modern high-tech surgical method helped him regain his mobility.
"Very few people know how long distances we falconers have to cover with our animals every day - up to 19 kilometers are not uncommon. After my hip 'went on strike' ten years ago, severe knee pain prevented me from practising my hobby," says the 61-year-old from Stockerau (Lower Austria). "But now I'm walking well again and can also cycle and go boating." The falconer explains how a "robot" helped him to get an artificial knee.
