My Comeback Story: Mae H.

I fell on ice and instantly knew I broke something. The ER confirmed a spiral fracture of my fibula. I saw Dr DiPreta and has surgery the following week. My surgery involved a plate and many screws. The immediate recovery was hard- both mentally and physically. I am a busy mom, wife and social worker. I love the outdoors and working out, so the immobility was terrible. Before I knew it, I was transitioning to weight bearing, a boot, physical therapy and then slowly building up my strength and flexibility. I am a little less than 6 months after my surgery and am thankful every day for my ability to walk. I’m actually stronger now than I was prior to the fracture and have resumed all of my normal activities with minimal discomfort. I recommend this office for any Ortho needs and can’t thank my Dr enough for helping me heal.
