Arm and Elbow Fractures

Erika Chamberland

I fell off of my bicycle riding in midtown and fractured my radial head. As a competitive boxer, I was completely crushed. This sort of injury could be career ending! Lana Kang did the most amazing work now. With her precision (and the help of a good sports physical therapist) I was able to get back to punching in only 6 months! Now at 9 months I feel nearly 100%, when the expected recovery time is over 12 months!! So happy that I get to do what I love and so thankful to Dr Kang for doing an amazing surgery!
