From crutches to the starting line. 🏃‍♀️‍➡️

After tearing her ACL, Jessica Prevette wasn’t sure she’d run again – especially after a second injury. With expert care from Dr. Reid Russell, orthopedic surgeon, she’s turning recovery into a comeback.

“This time last year, I was still on crutches,” Jessica said. “Now I’m preparing to run a 5K this weekend.”

We’re excited to see Jessica cross the starting line at the City of Hickory Parks, Recreation & Sports Tourism 5K – a full-circle moment in her recovery journey.

📘Read Jessica’s patient story below and learn how individualized orthopedic care can help patients return to the activities they love.
