Franca Gioia

In September 2022, I shattered my wrist when I lost my balance while cleaning my baseboards- just a freak accident. I was lucky enough to get an appointment with Dr. Daluiski a few days later and surgery right away. I’m not an athlete, but am a very active 55 year old woman. The only thing that mattered to me was getting back to my life, my yoga practice and walking my 50lb dog. I have only great things to say about every aspect of my care by Dr. Daluiski and HSS. I had surgery requiring 2 plates, 6 screws and a bone graft. I can honestly say it was relatively painless. I felt so much better within a few days. I was back to my life and a modified yoga practice within three months. And right on cue, when he said the plates would start bothering me, they did. So we scheduled removal of the hardware around the 6 month mark. I was able to clip my fingernails, manage using scissors and get back to cooking for my family within days. By 8 months, I was back to a full yoga practice. And now, 10 months later, I have very few physical reminders of the injury or the two surgeries. Just 2 beautiful scars to remind me to be more careful.
