#HandSpecialists #WristSpecialists #ElbowSpecialists Triathlete Angelica Leon suffered a serious fall during the cycling phase of a triathlon, leaving her with a complex elbow injury that required surgery. After struggling with prior procedures performed at a local hospital, she sought a second opinion from Dr. Robert Wysocki of the Hand, Wrist & Elbow Institute at Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush. Dr. Wysocki performed an advanced, specialized procedure that gave Angelica a new path forward. Shortly after surgery and recovery, she not only returned to competition—she achieved her dream of running the Boston Marathon.
