This story follows the platoon coach, Kirsten Furguson, a mother full time from 2 and a professional coach. He said he came out for the long term one day and finally had to drag himself home. He decided it was time to see the orthopedic hip specialist about the worsening hip pain.

Nwachukwu saw Kirsten and gave the choice to manage his hip pain through PT, or to repair the torn hip labrum (found in MRI imaging.)

Kirsten chose to improve the labrum. Nwachukwu performed artroscopically surgery, using a small incision and a special camera to see in the hip joint. He can secure the labrum back to the bone with the anchor of the stitches. Furthermore, Dr. Nwachukwu performs femoroplasty, a procedure that re -forming the femoral head and eliminates the hip outlet (the cause of a torn labrum.) Femoroplasty eliminates the hip outlet, which helps the hip conservation and the possibility of retear.

Kirsten started PT immediately with physical therapist, Snehal Patel, in HSS (hospital for special surgery). He was very determined and worked very hard, he decided to do a Marathon United Airlines NYC 1/2 2024. Physical therapy continued, and with permission from Dr. Nwachukwu and physical therapist, patel, he decided to run the TCS New York City Marathon.

Congratulations to Kirsten for his full recovery!
