Complex ankle break.

Could not walk put weight on my foot.
What made you decide to do something about your problem?
There was no question about doing something.
Why did you choose Dr. Silverman?
The Orthopedic Department at Abbott Northwestern asked Dr. Silverman to do it because it was such a bad and complex break
What treatment/procedure did you have done?
I had ankle ligament reconstruction surgery, and Dr. Silverman also went into my foot and fixed a small tear I had in a muscle.
How did you feel after treatment?
I have had very little pain after the first couple of weeks after surgery. Moreover, after 3 months from surgery I am walking in my home with no cane or crutch.
What advice would you give other patients in a similar situation to you?
Dr. Silverman is excellent. If you have a complex break in your foot or ankle, he is the one to go to for your surgery. I have had excellent healing and it has come along quickly. And along the healing route, I had very little pain as well. I feel very relieved.
