As a very active competitive water skier breaking my ankle was not good news. Dr. Holthusen not only gave me very detailed information about my injury but he also took the time to make sure I understood the consequences of several options I had in terms of repair and treatment. In the end the surgical repair was top notch and the follow up care and direction was most helpful. I am back skiing with absolutely no loss of movement or strength. I would highly recommend Dr. Holthusen for any injury dealing with your lower extremities. He is thoughtful, thorough, and highly skilled.
