Hamstring Injuries

Marcel Legrand

A good surgeon doesn't just concentrate on technical ability, but also on the appropriateness of what they are doing. As an 18x full Ironman Triathlete, I experienced a severe avulsion of the hamstring tendons refereeing soccer. 2 days later I was rushed into surgery with Dr. Anil Ranawat & his world-class HSS team. 7 months later, after hard work and a methodical build-back, I finished another race with two of my three sons and have 4 more full IM triathlons scheduled to crush this year. World-class medicine, unparalleled care & communications, meticulous recovery guidance all added up. Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny but having Dr. R and HSS on my team made all the difference.
