Comments: I do not know whether you remember operating on me, or not. It was March 21, 2006 when you inserted a rod into my leg after multiple fractures of my tibia and fibula. At the time you told me and my uncle Herb (who is also an orthopedic surgeon) that it was one of the worst injured legs you had seen. Well, its 13 years later and I was thinking about the wonders of ortho surgery. I just wanted to tell you that I had a very rapid recovery and was biking four months later. I resumed skiing the next year, when I returned to Vail in order to complete my run. As you suggested I no longer race and avoid ungroomed slopes. I’m now 68 years old, and still skiing and biking. Two summers ago I completed a 52-mile bike ride and this January I skied the Alps in Italy. All this was because of how well you operated on me. I had rehab back home near Chicago, and for a while, at least, they were using my x-rays in lectures at Northwestern Med. Once again, thanks for what you did for me.
