Ankle Reconstruction Success Story

Back on the Trail—Thanks to Expert Ankle Care

For avid mountain biker John Weber, few things rival the thrill of tackling West Virginia’s rugged trails. But during a challenging ride on the steep terrain of Snowshoe Mountain, a serious crash left him with a fractured ankle, a broken wrist, and a knee injury—sidelining him from the sport he loves.

John was transported to the Emergency Department at Vandalia Health Davis Medical Center, where he was evaluated and diagnosed with severe ankle damage requiring surgery. Foot and ankle surgeon Michael Hurst, DPM, repaired the fractured ankle.

“Dr. Hurst is an empathetic, caring individual,” said John. “I had a positive experience before and after surgery.”

Following surgery, John’s ankle was immobilized in a cast and later supported by a walking boot. As a physical therapist himself at Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital, John knew the road to recovery would be long—but he was determined to return to the outdoors. He committed to an intensive physical therapy program focused on strengthening and restoring mobility in his ankle.

“I could feel my ankle getting better, stronger,” John said.

Now, one year later, while he hasn’t returned to racing, John is once again enjoying the trails—biking and hiking through the hills of Upshur County.

Thanks to the expert surgical care at Davis Medical Center and his own dedication to healing, John is back to doing what he loves—one trail at a time.
