Small wins lead to big outcomes — and today’s win is a strong, steady single‑leg calf raise... At only 13 weeks post-Achilles repair!

This patient has been putting in the work, and it shows. Under the guidance of Physical Therapist Jack Higdon, we’re seeing improved calf strength, ankle stability, and overall control — all key milestones on the road back to full function.
This patient has specifically also gone to the gym six days a week, putting in his calf work!

This kind of strength and control this early isn’t the norm—it’s the result of consistency, patience, and following my rehabilitation protocol.
Compared to the average recovery timeline, this patient is ahead of the curve—but every journey is different. Stay the course, trust the process, and respect the timeline.

Every rep matters. Every step forward counts. We are all so proud of the effort and consistency on display here!

As an orthopedic surgeon, I spend most days helping others get back to the activities they love… so this year I made sure I committed to one of my own. I completed an Ironman on November 1st, and tomorrow I’ll be lifting only a fork! 😅🦃
Grateful for health, perseverance, and all the people who help make big goals possible!

When your surgical scar heals too well... 🤷‍♀️ One of my patients came in yesterday with this creative tattoo next to his incision. He wanted a more dramatic surgical scar— so he added some extra stitches for dramatic effect! 😃
I love seeing the personality and humor my patients bring into the healing process. Medicine meets art!

📸 ORIF of a Jones Fracture with Autologous Bone Graft 💀🦶
Today’s case: A Jones fracture — a break at the base of the 5th metatarsal — known for its high risk of nonunion due to limited blood supply in this area.
To optimize healing, I performed an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), supplemented with a bone graft harvested from the patient’s own calcaneus. Using autologous grafting increases the chance of union. ⚙️💉
