Shattered ankle leads to replacement and rehabilitation
Tracie Darbin, 61, shown above with her great nephew Quincy, suffered a terrible injury to her left ankle that required surgery.
“About 40 years ago, I shattered my ankle and tore my Achilles tendon,” she recalled. “At that time, the best solution for reconnecting the bones was using screws, but the joint often rubbed together and was very painful.”
