When Emersyn Massey ended her basketball season with a torn ACL and strains to nearly every other major knee ligament, it seemed her high school sports career might be over. But with expert orthopedic surgery from James Bond, MD, and a drive to recover through Ortho Central’s physical therapy program, she made an incredible comeback, returning to the softball state tournament just months later! 👏🏅

Emersyn's story is nothing short of inspiring. She pushed through every challenge to get back to the sports she loves, with the Ortho Central team cheering her on every step of the way. We’re proud to help athletes return stronger, faster, and more equipped to compete than before—no matter how complex the injury!
