Grandma’s Ankle Replacement Helps Her Return to the Court
KGW-TV (NBC, Portland)

Mary Davis injured her ankle while playing basketball in high school and it was never the same. It wasn’t treated properly, and years later, Mary’s ankle deteriorated to the point where she couldn’t participate in activities with her grandchildren due to the pain.

Dr. Kelly McCormick of Hope Orthopedics in Salem, Ore., recommended the INBONE® Total Ankle System, and now Mary can play basketball with her grandchildren and get back on the tennis courts that she loves with no pain. Dr. McCormick explains that ankle replacements have improved based on key learnings from knee and hip replacements over the years, and although it is a very complex procedure, it has enabled Mary to live a life without pain.

The opinions of Dr. McCormick and Mary Davis are theirs alone and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Wright Medical.
