Last August, Robin Belsky, a lifelong snow and water skier, crashed hard while water skiing at roughly 50 miles per hour and catapulted head over heels. Unfortunately, her ski boot didn’t release, which caused her to suffer a trimalleolar ankle fracture, with multiple breaks of the bones around the ankle.

She was referred to Dr. Elizabeth A. Cody, a foot and ankle surgeon at Hospital for Special Surgery Orthopedics with Stamford Health. The injury was severe but Dr. Cody developed a detailed plan for recovery. One week after her accident, Dr. Cody rebuilt Robin’s ankle. The extensive procedure required 21 screws, four plates, and cadaver bone graft. After surgery, Robin slowly began to regain her mobility through physical therapy and guided exercise.

In March 2025, eight months post-accident, Dr. Cody removed the hardware around Robin’s ankle and on Mother’s Day, Robin was back on her water skis feeling strong, stable, and alive!
