Dr. Raissi Patient Success Story
ANKLE FUSION PATIENT 14 YEARS POST-SURGERY
Over 14 years ago, this man was a patient of Dr. Raissi. He needed to have an ankle fusion performed. An ankle fusion, also called ankle arthrodesis, aims to ease pain and improve function in ankle arthritis by fusing the ankle bones into one, eliminating joint motion and reducing discomfort.
Dr. Raissi has undergone two fellowships dedicated to care and surgery for the foot and ankle, giving him a wealth of experience to deliver high-quality treatment for his patients. His extensive training helped with the completion of this surgery, and now watching the videos below, we can see the success of his patient being able to enjoy several activities.
In this video, we see Dr. Raissi’s patient parasailing. When he lands on the beach, he uses both feet effortlessly.
Using both feet with an equal amount of effort, we see Dr. Raissi’s patient easily does a backflip on sand!
Striding with a normal gait and even increasing speed at one point, Dr. Raissi’s patient enjoys a run on the treadmill.
