I started my treatment at Jones PT shortly after suffering a Maisonneuve fracture to my left leg and ankle. Being one of the rarest fractures a person can sustain, many Orthopedic surgeons have never had the opportunity to see a Maisonneuve fracture, never-mind the delicate operations that have to occur to correct the breaks and ligament damage. All I can say is that my surgon warned me that I was in for a long recovery period (6-8 months.) Shortly after my initial surgery, I started my rehabilitation with Dr. Jones and her staff. My first few months required me to use a knee stroller just to get around. The idea that I would ever be able to walk was far from my thoughts. I started in January with no ability to bear weight on my injured leg, never mind having any range of motion. But Dr. Jones knew just the right regiment for my rare fracture.
I attended PT at Jones PT 3 days a week for months. And each time I visited, I could visibly see the improvements that I was making thanks to my personalized rehab program. My Orthopedist said that I needed to be able to have complete weight bearing by time I had my second surgery in May. It certainly was not easy, but Dr. Jones and her staff got me to that point. Before time for my second surgery occurred, I was pretty much walking with just the assistance of a single crutch and an air cast. On the day of my second surgery, I walked into the hospital without the use of any assistance. It was an unbelievable transformation of my abilities in just a few months. Even my Orthopedist was overwhelmed with my recovery progress.
Once I had finished with my second surgery, I went back to Jones PT to continue with my rehab. By time I finished my therapy in early July, I was pretty much back to walking as normal as I always had. But to go from being completely dependent on a scooter, to walking 100% on my own, is in large part to Dr. Jones, her staff, and her expertise on what is considered a very rare and very painful fracture.
I highly recommend Jones PT for anyone that is in need of physical therapy, personal training, or just a better understanding of their injuries or causes of their pain. Her clinic is located in downtown Decatur (near the Decatur Marta station) and she has very convenient hours for those who may have to come after work.
