How patient outcomes survey helps measure effectiveness of orthopedic proceduresOpens in a new window
Mar 25, 2021Growing up outside Cleveland in the 1970s, Randy Voss spent plenty of time playing competitive sports on the football field and basketball court. He endured plenty of nicks and dings as a result, and often hobbled about on crutches, both during and after high school. His ankles took the most abuse. “I had a lot of sprains,” he said, adding that he simply pushed through them. There wasn’t much in the way of sophisticated medical care, and slow healing wasn’t his goal anyway. The result was severe damage to the joint tissue in the right ankle, as well as spurs and bone chips. Voss underwent several ankle procedures over a roughly 30-year period, culminating in a 2006 surgery that removed bone from his heel, placed it underneath the ankle and secured it with pins and screws.Opens in a new window Full story -
