"As a competitive runner, it was very demoralizing for me to hear from other Doctors how I would not be able to continue running due to damage to the cartilage in my ankle. So it was encouraging when Dr. Kennedy said that he could do a procedure to replace the damaged cartilage and allow me to go back to running. It's been two years now, and I've been back running competitevely for a while now and completely pain free."
F. Jones, Marathon Runner.
"Having heard of the benefits of microfracture surgery for some professional athletes, I knew that this was the right choice for me. But my knee is my life, therefore I could only trust it to the best doctors. That's why i came to the Hospital for Special Surgery and put my faith on Dr. John G. Kennedy. I couldn't have asked for a better treatment. His knowledge and skills are top-notch and the service at the hospital is first-class."
E. Carter, Downhill Skier.
"I had been suffering from ankle sprains since high school and had
developed pain in my ankle which was now there all the time. As a
mother of two, it was my desire to be able to run around and play with
my children in the park, but I wasn't able to do so due to the pain. I
went to visit Dr. Kennedy, who told me that I had a defect in my
cartilage that could be treated with surgery. i decided to follow his
advice and now I'm able to do all the things I want with my kids."

"I tried to go by with pain in my ankle for a few months, but as a
salesman in New York city, walking blocks and blocks a day is the norm
and it was interfering with my work to the point where I had thought
about quitting. I had tried physical therapy for months, but the pain
was very severe. I had an MRI done at HSS and Dr. Kennedy pointed out
that I had a cyst in my bone which was the cause of the pain. He did
surgery to drill the cyst and replace it with cement and, after more
specific physical therapy program, I returned to work and can know
also run on a treadmill at the gym."
