Meet “Bionic Betty.” 🦾
After seven surgeries with OrthoNebraska — including knee, hip, shoulder, and spine procedures — Betty just returned from a 20-day trip to Kenya and Uganda, where she hiked six miles through the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park to see gorillas in the wild at 8,000 feet of elevation.
“Without their excellent care, I would not have been able to do this. My fellow travelers gave me the nickname of ‘Bionic Betty.’ Thank you to all my surgeons and all the other staff at OrthoNebraska that cared for me so well every time I was there.”
A special shoutout to Dr. Urban, Dr. Bonness and Dr. Porter for playing such a huge part in Betty's current and future adventures!
We’re so inspired by Betty’s determination and proud to have played a part in her incredible journey. 👏
