Broken Leg (Leg Fracture)

Edward Dixon

I've been to HSS three times for rehab for various injuries. The most recent was a broken fibula and torn ligament in my ankle that required surgery to repair. I had my surgery performed by Dr. Drakos and my physical therapist was Julie Khan. The surgery and recovery process was as smooth as can be expected and Julie pushed me through the rehab process and always challenged me to do more than I thought I could. I've been playing Semi-Pro Football for the past 12 years and was able to get back on the field less than a year after surgery. Every experience at HSS was very professional. I highly recommend Julie and HSS for anyone needing to go through the rehab process. She is knowledgeable and constantly pushes you to improve.
