In February 2002 a patient rang from Dubai for some advice following an accident on his motorbike in the desert. He had sustained a severe, comminuted (in many pieces) fracture of his right talus. He was seen at The Clinic four weeks later and had been told by surgeons that he would be non-weight-bearing on crutches for a full year and that ankle fusion was likely.

CAT scans showed severe comminution of the talus, with no possibility of fixing with screws due to the extent of the damage.

The patient was treated with MFT and laser scan and within just four to five weeks, he was allowed by his surgeon to take 50% weight on the right foot. He was treated at The Clinic just once weekly up to the 24th April, by which time he was fully weight-bearing with no crutches.

The patient was able to return to his job as a photographer-filming on glaciers etc, within 3 months of his injury and after only eight sessions of treatment with MFT and laser scan.

The patient sent a postcard after treatment, saying: "What can I say? The NHS said 12 months on crutches. After 3 months of your magic I was walking, earning money in Palma, spending it in Rio, and now earning it again! Shooting on a glacier, trudging around in the snow, wouldn't have believed it after seeing the scans. Will have to wait till next season to go snowboarding though. Can't thank you enough, the country may be wishing Beckham had attended too! Big thanks and peace."
