Robotic knee surgery gets local competitive dancer back on the floor quickly
AUSTIN, Texas — Dancing is art in motion, and a dancer’s body is a tool for their expression.
“Everything in dance starts with a plié and ends with a plié, everything,” said Linda Holland.
Holland is a competitive dancer who owns her own dance studio, Dance Institute.
She found that in 2018, she was not able to use her tools correctly. That’s when she had her first knee surgery, but she still felt something wasn’t right.
“If you don’t have knees you probably don’t dance, that’s very safe to say,” she said. “I was probably looking at a possible or total knee at some point when I couldn’t stand how my knee was functioning at that time.”
Last year, she had a total knee replacement, a surgery done with the help of robotics.
