    How was your appointment with Dr. Rasmussen?

    Feb 11, 2023
    I had a motorcycle accident in 1984 which resulted in a compound fracture on my left leg just below the knee I knew my leg was never set properly Because I was a runner and was not able to run after that I had two screws securing my leg which have caused pain for 40 years I also had five lateral meniscus tears repaired on that leg When I had reached out to see if I was eligible for any replacement years ago I was told that they would have to remove the bone with the screws And I would have to wear lifts in my shoe because my legs with no longer be the same length I was so grateful to meet with Dr Rasmussen and have nothing but praise for he and his entire staff I feel like they have given me a new lease on life and I’ am not facing a future Being crippled I also am so grateful for the physical therapy that I’ve received and am still involved in I believe so strongly that physical therapy is vital and Even though I still hurt I can bend for the first time in 40 years
