Gordon's Story

Smith & Nephew

I was prescribed the EXOGEN◊ ultrasound bone healing system earlier this year following a scaphoid fracture that would not heal. I broke my wrist when I flipped over the handlebars of my mountain bike during a race. Not realizing what I had done, I mustered up the strength to climb back on my bike and finish 22 out of 160 bikers. Yet, the pain in my wrist was excruciating!

The next day I went to an orthopedist who described to me the aspects of my fracture.  First, he put a cast on my wrist.  After awhile in the cast another set of x-rays showed no healing so my doctor prescribed the EXOGEN◊ bone healing system.  I was told to use the EXOGEN◊ device in my home, for 20 minutes each day.  Several weeks later my cast was removed and I was instructed to maintain my use with EXOGEN◊ in order to continue healing.  The doctor said the healing process is “back on track”.
 
I can now say that my hand gets better and stronger with each treatment with EXOGEN◊ and I am able to get back on my bike and back to my normal life.
