I was in bad shape. After I had a successful hip surgery last summer and I walked out fine for about two weeks and my left ankle that has been bad for years decided to find a new place to live. the tibia was pivoting bone on bone and the pain was excruciating. Enter Dr Braswell reassuring me that he could put it back together, frankly I had my doubts of his claim to be pain free and playing golf within the year.
This procedure is radical and not for everyone recovery is long and painful but it is nothing short of incredible how I feel today. Thank you and your capable team.
