He is an Army veteran, serving actively for 14 years deploying to Afghanistan in 2010 with a forward surgical team (FST).

On this episode Luke and Dr. Abell talk about a common foot dysfunction - that is a "flat" or flexible foot that has failed conservative treatment. What does surgical reconstruction of this area look like? How long will I be immobilized? What kind of rehab follows this surgery? Tune in and find out.
