The patient Wendy Uculmana from Peru suffered a Partial Ligament Tear in her thumb and was referred from Peru to see Dr. Alejandro Badia for an arthroscopic surgery to repair the tear in her thumb. After undergoing a brief arthroscopic procedure that left only a small scar and completing physical therapy, Wendy is now able to move her thumb without pain and return to performing basic tasks such as getting dressed and combing her hair without discomfort.
Testimonial of Patient Wendy Uculmana from Lima, Peru
“My name is Wendy Uculmana and I am from Lima, Peru. A doctor in Lima connected me with Dr. Alejandro Badia, MD, who in turn recommended that I travel to Miami, FL so I could see him.”
“What I had was a partial tear of the thumb tendon. What I needed was to undergo an arthroscopy using, as Dr. Badia explained to me, a 1.9 mm scope, making incisions that are barely noticeable, so they could repair the ligament.”
“I am super happy because I know that now I will be able to do my normal daily tasks again, without pain. Everything I had to do was uncomfortable, from not being able to get dressed, brush my teeth, comb my hair, use scissors, cook, hold tongs, and even write.”
“I am beginning my recovery process, and I am doing it here in Miami, FL, at Dr. Badia’s OrthoNow Institute. From here, I will return to Lima to complete my rehabilitation.”
“I fully recommend Dr. Badia. Honestly, the care I received here is first-class; they treat you extremely well. Dr. Badia explained in detail the injury I had and how it could be resolved with surgical intervention. Now I will be able to return to having a normal life.”
