    • This past weekend, HSS clinicans Polly de Mille, Dr. Jordan Metzl, Jamie Osmak, and Heidi Skolnik participated in @MichelobULTRA #ULTRAFitFest sharing tips on living a fit and fun life in Scottsdale, Arizona! #HospitalForSpecialSurgery
    • After a motorcycle accident last year, Jesse from Michigan underwent an amputation of his leg at an outside hospital. After the surgery, Jesse suffered from a MRSA infection and experienced pain from his residual leg not fitting well with the traditional prosthetic socket. Jesse flew to New York to meet Dr. S. Robert Rozbruch, Chief of Limb Lengthening and Complex Reconstruction Service and the Director of the Limb Salvage and Amputation Reconstruction Center at HSS, who performed revision surgery to treat the infection, and then a new surgical technique called osseointegration. Last week, Jesse was fitted for his new prosthetic that attaches directly to his tibia bone. He is excited to get back to walking, playing disc golf and traveling with his wife! #HospitalForSpecialSurgery #osseointegration
