The Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics is redefining the way musculoskeletal care is delivered across the region with locations throughout Maryland, DC, Virginia and Pennsylvania.
I was diagnosed with a failed posterior tibial tendon by another orthopedic doctor.
As I am a classical dance teacher, my injury prevented me from fully demonstrating movement in the classes I was teaching, and I was prevented from fully participating in classes for myself.
Dr. Neufeld was recommended to me by my regular orthopedist. After spending 8 years “adapting” to function without my tendon, I wanted to know if there was any way to improve my mobility.
I had extensive surgery and rehabilitation to repair my posterior tibial tendon, and other damage that was present, but not diagnosed. Dr. Neufeld rebuilt my left ankle.
While my rehabilitation has been long and tedious, and made more so because of the pandemic, I am very happy to say that I have more mobility and agility than I have had in over 8 years, and am looking forward to even more in my future!
I would advise other patients to consult Dr. Neufeld as soon as possible! I wasted so much time accepting the assessment that my mobility would never get any better, and as long as it wasn’t getting any worse, surgery would not improve it. My first appointment with Dr. Neufeld was a day that brought the news I didn’t dare hope to hear! He could fix my tendon and my foot – I would dance again!!
