Patient Stories

Orthopedics 101 is in session when a local teacher learns he needs surgery to repair three torn tendons.

Remington suffered an acute lateral patellar dislocation, as well as an injury to the kneecap’s cartilage. After knee surgery and a six-month recovery plan guided by Dr. Trinh, Remington is back on the field.

With both knees gnarled by arthritis, Nancy Walsh knew that if she wanted to lead an active life, she’d need two total knee replacement surgeries.

Knee surgery was the right answer

Carolyn tried several non-surgical treatments, from over-the-counter medications to steroid injections to assistive devices, like a cane or walker. But finally, the pain became so bad that she could barely walk. So, she moved forward and had joint replacement surgery on her left knee.

Laura Walker severely injured her knee at age 29. She spent two decades in agonizing pain.

Laquita had a total knee replacement at the Genesis Neuroscience & Orthopedic Center. After the procedure, she was pain free and able to climb stairs again.

Knee replacements last longer with KneeAlign technology, a surgical option available for patients, like Glenna Simon, at Genesis.

When Bill Howard severed a tendon in his finger, he was glad to get surgery by Clayton Gibson, M.D., a fellowship-trained orthopedic hand surgeon. Now Bill is back to enjoying his favorite hobby.
