Betty Board looks forward to her daily strolls through the neighborhood. After a serious ankle injury, she experienced severe pain and swelling that made it difficult to simply walk. Betty met with McLeod orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jason O’Dell, who determined that her entire ankle joint had deteriorated. To give Betty the best chance to maintain movement of the joint, eliminate pain, and preserve surrounding joints, Dr. O’Dell recommended a total ankle replacement. “I have never regretted going through with the surgery, and I am so glad that Dr. O’Dell was able to replace my ankle,” said Betty. Dr. O’Dell’s expertise and skill enabled Betty to get the total ankle replacement she needed and she’s back to walking with her loved ones.
