Samuel B. Adams Jr., MD an orthopedic surgeon with a clinical practice focused on all foot and ankle conditions including complex foot and ankle deformity correction, limb salvage, trauma, and ankle replacements. Patients come to see me for a variety of kinds of conditions. That's one of the reasons Samuel went into foot and ankle surgery. When it comes to treating patients, Samuel tries to exhaust all the non-surgical options first, because surgery can really intrude on someone's lifestyle. Samuel's passion is being able to reconstruct somebody’s foot when they can’t currently walk on it and allowing them to walk again. One patient story that stands out in Samuel's mind is of a woman who was involved in a car accident and broke her leg and several of the bones in her foot, and who lost some of those bones at the scene of the accident. She had seen several other providers, and they recommended amputation. When Samuel saw her, Samuel decided she would be a candidate for the new, 3D-printed technology, and Samuel was able to do a 3D bone implant, and now she's walking again. We were able to save her leg.
