Patient Reviews
Aug 31, 2022
I had an exceptional result from Dr Debritz and his team. I know every injury is unique as is every outcome. Mine was better than most who suffer a Pilon fracture (a crushing/splintering of tibia, fibula and high impact fracture of the ankle). It was a rough recovery. I was in a wheelchair for nearly 5 months and full recovery was probably 18 mos of hard and consistent work with a physical therapist and personal trainer. I’m not young (in my 50s and was obese at the time I was hit head on by a drunk driver). At three years post surgery by Dr Debritz, I ran a half marathon. Other than a slight problem with my ankle mobility that results in only minor limitations, my general health and well being are amazing considering the amount of damage sustained. I am forever grateful to this doctor, his team, and the amazing nurses and aids who looked after me at GW. I would highly recommend. He’s a busy doctor so if you see him in his office, be prepared to wait. He is dealing with trauma patients
