Patient Journey: Megan Stockman – During and After Her Wrist Injury and Surgery

How it all started?

Wrist Injury

Megan Stockman is a Professional Aerialist who experienced a wrist injury named Kienbock’s Disease, which is a condition where the blood supply to one of the small bones in the wrist, the lunate, is interrupted. Bone is living tissue that requires a regular supply of blood for nourishment. If the blood supply to a bone stops, the bone can die. This is called osteonecrosis..

I heard about Dr. Badia through my urgent care local doctor. I did a lot of research and found out how highly trained he is, and that how he also trains other physicians….. I felt so fortunate to be able to work with him, says Megan Stockman
