My first experience was a broken collar bone which needed a titanium plate. It was inserted and secured with six screws. My body rejected the titanium and it needed to be removed; this all took about 2 months. I've got to say that Dr. Josh Dines and HSS were there for me the whole time.
About a year later I completely tore my ACL and I went back to Dr. Josh Dines and HSS. In about 10 months, I began running hurdles again and I made it to the National Junior Olympic Games with great thanks to Dr. Dines and the HSS staff.
