Mike Johnson has a busy, active life, so when he fractured his tibial plateau (the top of the shin bone, affecting the knee), he needed prompt surgical care.

“I feel I was lucky to have Dr. Calafi as my surgeon,” says Mike.  “I had ORIF surgery (Open Reduction Internal Fixation) for my Tibial Plateau fracture.  The surgery was easy and I was well-prepared for both my operation and recovery.”

Mike also worked hard at physical therapy and getting healthy.  “Nicole was great.  I was able to start with partial weight bearing exercises at about nine weeks post-op and was walking within a couple of weeks of starting PT.  Nicole and her team were on top of my progress, and when they saw I was doing better than expected, they picked up the pace and I was released from PT after 6 weeks and 10 sessions.”

Mike is now back to his daily activities, which include Mondays watching his beautiful 18-month-old granddaughter, and golfing, hiking, swimming, daily dog walking, yard work and home improvement projects.  And of course, SKIING!  “I was back on the slopes 255 days after surgery!  I definitely recommend GSOS.  Thanks again Dr. Calfi, for fixing an old man up.”
