And Grace Will Lead Me
65-year-old triathlete leans on faith, OrthoCarolina,
and others to recover from terrible crash
By Sandi Constantino-Thompson
A 750-meter swim. A 20-kilometer bike ride. A 5-kilometer run. Few people ever attempt the rigors of a typical
triathlon. At age 65, Christine Black heard the challenge call
her name. And the results were far from anything typical.
With her steadfast faith and exuberance for life, Chris (as
friends call her) was determined to reach her goal of completing her first triathlon in summer 2006. A successful realtor
with Bissell-Hayes Realtors in Charlotte, North Carolina, and
adept at overcoming obstacles, she began training in January
of that year. While a confident swimmer and occasional cyclist,
Chris Black found running a challenge. She discovered the
perfect trainer in Kate Mansell, Wellness Experience Director
for the Harris Branch YMCA, and began her mission.
Months of training soon erased concerns, leaving Black in
superb shape and ready for her first event on June 26, 2006.
The day before the competition, Black embarked on a morning
bike ride near Lake Waccamaw where she and her husband,
Forrest, own a summer home. A beautiful day seemed the perfect reward after months of hard work and an omen of good
things to come. Suddenly, Black swerved to avoid an oncoming truck, and it is here that our story takes a harsh turn.
Chris Black holds up the Presbyterian Hospital-Huntersville’s “Hunt
to Health” award after finishing her first-ever triathlon, which she ran
after recovering from severe injuries caused by a near collision with
a truck. She is standing with her daughter, Dr. Christy Williamsen; her
husband, Forrest; and her trainer, Kate Mansell.
As she crashed to the ground, Black’s dream faded from
“will I finish the race” to “will I survive?” Rushed to Columbus
County Hospital in Whiteville, North Carolina, she learned she
had broken her hip and femur, and needed to be transferred to
Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte. Her husband (and most
ardent supporter) informed the hospital that Black was a triathlete and requested a sports orthopedic surgeon. Fortunately,
Patrick Connor, MD, a sports medicine specialist and surgeon
at OrthoCarolina, was on call to repair her multiple fractures;
but he warned Black that her triathlon days might be over.
“Typically, recovery stats for patients 65 or older are not
the best. Many heal, but only approximately 50 percent
return to their previous level of independent activity. And
mortality alone can range from 15 to 20 percent,” Dr. Connor explained. “After her surgery, we discussed Black’s case
at our multidisciplinary fracture conference; and many felt
she would be unable to return to intense exercise.” Still, Dr.
Connor respected Black’s passion for her new sport and her
excellent physical condition, and treated her as an athlete with
the focus of returning her to activity as soon as possible.
“Most people would have treated me like an older woman,”
Black said. “But Dr. Connor saw me as an athlete and used
the most advanced procedures to stabilize my hip. He treated
me with respect and encouraged me.”
Blessed by that conviction and successful surgery, Black
began the long road to recovery, with months of rehabilitation, guided by Dr. Connor’s team, including OC’s
physical therapist Jen Kane and nurse Lori Cassidy. In addition to pool therapy, she met Kane twice weekly for strength
and flexibility training.
Within a few months, Black returned to work and was walking
with a cane, and with the prospect that she would likely limp for
the rest of her life. “There were mornings I cried and thought I
would die,” she said. “The Lord gave me strength and people
to help me every step of the way, but it was up to me to make
things happen. I live my life according to Philippians 4:13. ‘I
can do all things through Him who gives me strength.’ ”
By December, Black started home therapy with weights and
a stationary bike and again called her close friend and trainer,
Kate Mansell, to start regaining mobility. Soon Black saw past
Home
the pain and looked forward to attempting the upcoming Tri
Latta Triathlon sprint in Charlotte in June 2007. The event
would be held almost one year to the day from her fateful fall.
She received a much-needed lift when Mansell and Chris’s
daughter, Christy Williamsen, MD, agreed to join her Tri
Latta quest. The race would be a first also for Dr. Williamsen, a mom and pediatric oncologist, who was inspired by
her mom’s journey. “My mom has been my role model since
birth,” she said. “I have watched her surpass insurmountable
obstacles in life and believe her faith and tenacity are truly
gifts from God. I only hope that I will have her spunk as I
grow older.”
On June 17, 2007, with age 65 scripted across her calves,
Black joined Dr. Williamsen, Mansell, and 400 other participants in the Tri Latta race held at Latta Plantation Park in
Charlotte. She was not only the most unlikely athlete there,
but despite her youthful appearance, the oldest. Laughing, she
said, “They could all see my age, so I might as well own up to it!
All the volunteers, my friends, co-workers, and family were so
enthusiastic, cheering on the sidelines. I felt their strength and
spirit within me and knew I could overcome anything.”
Moments after crossing the finish line to a jubilant crowd,
Black learned that she had received Presbyterian Hospital-Huntersville’s “Hunt to Health” award. She quickly
minimized the achievement. “I was so honored by the award,
but the real reward was being able to participate,” Black said.
“This is a common fracture for people in their 60s, but a
very uncommon recovery,” Dr. Connor said. “It’s a real tribute to her outstanding attitude and diligent therapy. Chris was
highly motivated, and that makes up for a lot. Her recovery
was truly Herculean and an affirmation to everyone that, with
persistence and determination, all things are possible.”
Black chalked up her success to an unyielding support system, a superb OrthoCarolina team, and help from a higher
power. “The hardest part was weaning off medication and
working through the pain. But I kept reminding myself that
the pain meant I was moving, and moving meant healing,” she
said. “Honestly, I was glad just to recover and hope it shows
people that you can reach for dreams, no matter how impossible they seem.
“Exercise is ageless, and I believe in surrounding myself with
positive people. I’m now training with Kate for the next level
— an Olympic triathlon that doubles the distances of the sprint
race. By the time I’m 70, I want to do an Iron Man [triathlon].”
For those keeping score, that’s a 2.4-mile swim, followed by a
112-mile bike ride and 26.2-mile marathon. With her fortitude,
we have no doubt she’ll finish in fine form. OC

The Bare Bones
Dr. Michael Wattenbarger,
pediatric specialist, Introduces the
muscularskeletal system to
an elementary school class
By Marium Mohiuddin
Ms. Malcolm’s third grade class at Winterfield Elementary School received a surprise on November 13, 2007
when a skeleton showed up at their classroom.
When teachers requested a speaker with expertise in muscles, bones, and joints, Michael Wattenbarger, MD, of the
OrthoCarolina Pediatric Center, volunteered to visit the class
and participate in the students’ daily science discussion. With
a model skeleton, Dr. Wattenbarger tapped the students’ curiosity about the human body, and he found the children to be
very inquisitive. Following the presentation, “Dr. Watty” (to
his new friends) said, “I can only hope that you enjoyed this
as much as I did.”
Dr. Wattenbarger launched the region’s first comprehensive
pediatric orthopedic center in 1996. He has a special interest
in scoliosis and spinal reconstructive surgery in children and
is involved in the care of children with special needs such as
cerebral palsy and congenital problems. OC
OrthoCarolina speakers are available for your community

Michael Wattenbarger, MD, piqued the third-grade class’ curiosity
about bones when he pulled out a human skeleton model.

donation from orthocarolina
physicians promises to protect
Charlotte-area land
This winter, David N. DuPuy, MD, a sports medicine specialist
and general orthopedist in OrthoCarolina’s Matthews office, donated
the development rights to 375 acres of land in Marshville to the Catawba
Lands Conservancy, which permanently protects the land, water, and
wildlife in the Charlotte region.
Dr. DuPuy has owned the land, located east of Monroe, since the
DuPuy
late ’80s, when he purchased it as a place to escape the city. The farm
reminded him of his childhood home in West Virginia, which was situated on land that had been in his family since a 1772 land grant from David N. DuPuy, MD, donated development
rights to 375 acres of land to the Catawba
King George III of England.
Lands Conservancy
His donations is the Catawba Lands Conservancy’s second largest
gift, and it means Dr. DuPuy’s cattle, horses, crop rotations, and three
ponds will remain undisturbed, even if the land is sold.
McCoy
However, this is not the first time an OrthoCarolina physician has
donated to the conservatory. In 2006, Thomas H. McCoy, MD, a
hip, knee, and shoulder replacement specialist, donated the development rights
to 80 acres of his family farm to the organization. The farm, which has been in
Dr. McCoy’s family since 1768, is located on McCoy Road in Huntersville’s Long
Creek community. An additional 250 acres of the original farm also have been conserved by donations made by McCoy’s family members. OC

The Gift of Land
The Catawba Lands Conservancy
In the past 20 years, North Carolina has lost about 2.8 million acres of
farmlands and open space. Charlotte, the state’s largest metropolitan area,
has lost 26 percent of its total cropland and forestland, more than any other
of the state’s region. The Catawba Lands Conservancy permanently conserves
land in four ways:
Conservation easements: A voluntary legally binding agreement between a
landowner and a qualified conservation organization that runs with the land
perpetually. The land must serve a qualified “conservation purpose,” providing a
significant public benefit recognized by the Internal Revenue Service.
Land donation: All rights to the land are donated to the Conservancy.
Bargain sale: The landowner sells the property to the Conservancy at a price
below the fair market value.
Conservation buyers: An individual purchases the property and protects it
with a conservation easement.The Conservancy protects the property, while the
landowner continues to own and manage the land.

Prospects
OrthoCarolina prepares Olympic swimmers
For the 2008 summer olympic games in beijing
When SwimMAC needed sports performance experts
to complement the newly established team of world-class
coaches and swimmers who had come together to form
USA Swimming’s first Center of Excellence, they turned to
OrthoCarolina’s Epicenter for Sports Performance.
For nearly the past year, Alan Tyson, vice president of
Sports Performance and Rehabilitation for OrthoCarolina,
and the Epicenter team have worked one-on-one with Beijing
2008 Olympic Games hopefuls Mark Gangloff and Margaret Hoelzer. Gangloff is a gold medal winner from the Athens
2004 Olympic Games in the 400 meter medley relay. Hoelzer
is the United States record holder in the women’s 200 meter
backstroke and also was a member of the 2004 Olympic team.
Both are 2005 graduates of Auburn University.
In addition to spending three to six hours in the pool six
days a week, Gangloff and Hoelzer meet weekly with Tyson
for ongoing physical assessments and to work through customized training programs designed to help them perform at
their maximum potential.
“We have a good deal of experience training athletes from
Major League Baseball, the National Football League, and the
National Basketball Association, and understand what it takes
to help top athletes perform at the highest level,” Tyson said.
“With Mark and Margaret, it’s no different. It’s their job to
keep their bodies in the best possible shape, and we’re thrilled
to have the opportunity to help them achieve their performance goals.”
Blazing a trail to excellence
SwimMAC Team Elite Carolina was established in the
summer of 2007, when SwimMAC President Jeff Gaeckle
presented the United States Olympic Committee (USOC)
and USA Swimming with the idea of a Center of Excellence dedicated to the needs of swimmers in their mid-20s
to early 30s.
“There was a major hole in the development of our sport
in that we didn’t have a way to properly take care of the 24to 30-year-old professional swimmer who has the talent and
drive to perform for the United States in the Olympic games,”
said David Marsh, who was recruited to be the head elite
coach and CEO of SwimMAC and Team Elite.
SwimMAC champions
Charlotte-area swimmers
For more than 30 years, SwimMAC has served the Charlotte
area by providing an environment of excellence in sports. As
a USA Swimming-designated Center of Excellence, SwimMAC
has developed two Olympians, seven National Champions, 90
Senior National Qualifiers, and won 50 North Carolina State
Championships. Involvement in community service programs
includes Red Cross training, Victory Junction Gang, and the
Susan G. Komen 5K Run.
SwimMAC is a not-for-profit organization whose purpose is to
provide comprehensive, year-round competitive, instructional,
and recreational swimming programs to the greater Charlotte
area. The club and facilities are owned by the families that
make up the competitive team and are governed by a board of
directors comprised of parent members and staff. SwimMAC is
a club member of USA Swimming, the national governing body
for the sport of swimming.
For more information on SwimMAC and a complete list of
Charlotte-area locations, visit www.justswimmac.org.
By Gretchen Siebert
SwimMAC team member, Margaret Hoelzer holds the U.S. record in
the women’s 200 meter backstroke.
Typically, post-collegiate swimmers have two training alternatives: stay and train at their alma maters or return to their
hometowns to train with their club teams. But different schedules and competing priorities for coaching staffs can make
these situations less than ideal for everyone involved.
“A college coach’s top priority should be the current members of his or her team,” Hoelzer said. “I didn’t want my
training to take away from that; I wanted the current Auburn
team to have the same experience I had. The Center of Excellence concept really provides an ideal opportunity for us to
continue training at an elite level after graduation.”
Marsh said the USOC and USA Swimming plan to replicate
the model used to establish Charlotte’s Center of Excellence
in other markets across the country.
“Once we blaze this trail and successfully demonstrate the
Team Elite concept, the USOC and USA Swimming intend to
initiate conversations with major aquatic clubs in the Midwest,
Southwest, and West to establish similar training programs and
sports performance partnerships,” he said.
Creating the
total athlete
Since their arrival in
Charlotte late this past summer, Gangloff and Hoelzer
have worked closely with
OrthoCarolina’s Epicenter for Sports Performance,
weaving personalized
performance and injury prevention programs into their
weekly routines.
“Our most important goal
with Mark and Margaret
is to assess and treat muscle imbalances that could
impede their success,”
Tyson said. “For example,
swimmers tend to have a
great deal of strength in their
chests and shoulders, which Mark Gangloff is part of the
can lead to weakness in the SwimMAC team.
upper back. When we correct this imbalance, they’re able to
train harder and, in turn, swim faster.”
Marsh, who led Auburn
University’s men’s and
women’s swimming teams
to a record 12 National
Championship titles during his 25-year coaching
career, said it’s a blend of
coordination, timing, and
core rigidity that creates the
total athlete. He acknowledges that the Epicenter’s
comprehensive approach is
important to achieving this
winning combination.
Gangloff won a gold medal in the
“The way the Epicenter
Athens Olympics in 2004 and is
combines strength training,
training to compete in the summer
physical therapy, and athgames in Beijing this year.
letic training into one plan
is cutting edge,” he said. “We’ve seen very noticeable results
from Mark and Margaret’s training programs that combine
preventative rehab with the strengthening of muscles that traditional swimming exercises don’t address.”
Gangloff and Hoelzer agree their customized sports performance programs and personal attention from Tyson and the
Epicenter team are integral to their preparations for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
“Alan understands what it takes to help athletes perform
OrthoCarolina’s Epicenter
for Sports Performance
The physical therapists and athletic trainers at OrthoCarolina’s
Epicenter for Sports Performance work with athletes from all
sports, including soccer, baseball, football, tennis, volleyball, and
swimming. In the past year, the team has trained players from
Major League Baseball, the National Football League (NFL), and
the National Basketball Association, in addition to a number of
college athletes. You, too, can train at OrthoCarolina just like
these Olympians and professional athletes. Call (704) 323-3278

at their peak,” Gangloff said. “He has a broad perspective
from having worked with a variety of professional athletes,
and he knows the whole body needs to be balanced in order
to excel on land and in the water.”
“It’s partners like Alan and the Epicenter who will be
essential to recruiting other post-grads to train in Charlotte,”
Hoelzer said. “His expertise has been such a great asset to the
swimmers here.” OC

Athletes Choose OC
Here are just a few of the publicly reported stories of athletes who
have chosen OrthoCarolina.
“Carolina Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme underwent right
elbow surgery this morning at Carolinas Medical Center.
Delhomme was having what is commonly known as Tommy John
Surgery, in which a tendon is taken from another part of his body to
strengthen and repair the elbow.
The surgery was performed by Dr. Pat Connor of OrthoCarolina. Connor is also the Panthers’ team physician. ‘Jake underwent
a medial ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction this morning of his
right elbow and the surgery went well,’ Connor said in a statement.
‘His post-operative rehabilitation will start soon and he has an excellent prognosis.’”

rival Wednesday, Burress was miles away from the practice field. He
and trainer Ronnie Barnes left around mid-morning for Charlotte,
N.C., to confer with foot and ankle specialist Dr. Robert Anderson.
The subject: Burress’ right ankle, which kept him out of practice
all last week. The ankle has bothered him since training camp, and
continues to be a sore spot after each game.
Anderson has worked with several Giants in the past, including
Jeremy Shockey, Rich Seubert and Justin Tuck. He is renowned as
one of the best in his business, if not the best.”
The Record (Bergen County, NJ), September 27, 2007
“Burress was in Charlotte, N.C., yesterday to have his lingering
right ankle injury examined by specialist Dr. Robert Anderson, who
performed the foot and ankle surgeries on then-Flyer Peter Forsberg
in the spring of 2006.”
The Philadelphia Daily News, September 27, 2007
“[Jeremy] Shockey on Friday will undergo surgery to repair his
fractured fibula and the additional injury to his left ankle. The surgery will be performed in Charlotte, N.C., by Dr. Robert Anderson,
who operated on Shockey’s right foot in June, 2004…”
The New York Post, December 19, 2007
“[The St. Louis Rams’ Leonard Little] had surgery Nov. 12 in
Charlotte, N.C. Little has a home in Charlotte, so he stayed there
for the frequent post-surgery visits with the surgeon, Dr. Robert
Anderson.
‘He wanted to see me every week and make sure everything was
healing up fine,’ Little said.
Little had reconstructive surgery on his left big toe.
‘I had two ligaments torn, so (Anderson) reconstructed them and
put them back where they needed to be at,’ Little said.

News from OrthoCarolina
Better, faster patient
satisfaction survey sharpens
focus on patients
In conjunction with OrthoCarolina’s
commitment to “Excellence in Orthopedics,” we have implemented our new
Patient Experience Survey process.
Surveying patients on a timely basis will
help to ensure that OrthoCarolina is in
touch with the patient and is delivering
an outstanding experience, every time.
This new survey process was launched
in October 2007 at the OrthoCarolina
Spine Center and will continue to be
rolled out at all other locations throughout 2008. The survey will become a
permanent part of OrthoCarolina’s
commitment to customer service, and
patients will have the opportunity to
participate in the survey each time they
visit an office to receive care.
Patients who accept the invitation
simply provide their e-mail addresses
to the patient services specialist assisting them at check-in, and they receive
a survey in their e-mail inbox the following day. The brief survey allows
patients to provide feedback on the care
they received during their most recent
visit. Depending on typing ability and
Internet speed, it should take less than
3 minutes to complete.
Results of the surveys are available to OrthoCarolina practice
managers in (nearly) real time. Managers can then view patient comments
and provide feedback on trends so that
every employee can continue to provide
the quality of service OrthoCarolina has
become known for in the community.
Any questions or comments about
this survey process should be directed
to Amy Green in Patient Services at
(704) 323-2031.

Back on His
Feet Again
foot & ankle Nurse Helps
radio host Robert d. Raiford
return to his active life
By Jeff Vawter
What made radio’s self-titled “Curmudgeon-atLarge” share his soft side? Nothing more than a satisfying
health care experience that brought hope, health, and healing. On December 12, 2007, Robert D. Raiford dedicated his
show to “my nurse Tami from OrthoCarolina.”
Raiford has been a regular on the syndicated John Boy &
Billy Show for 21 years. A former television news anchorman
and Vietnam War correspondent, he has also appeared in 28
movies, including “Billy Bathgate” and “The Handmaid’s
Tale.” He recently starred in “The Mecklenburgers,” a local
Emmy-nominated television show that educated viewers
about Mecklenburg County’s public services such as recycling and mosquito control.
The most active 80-year-old (or any-year-old) around, Raiford does his radio commentaries four times a day, five days
a week. His other regular activities include swimming laps,
riding his Harley-Davidson, and flying his 1940 J3 Piper Cub
airplane. He has logged more than 100 military and sport
parachute jumps, the last being two years ago.
the condition
When Raiford began feeling pain in his foot, he said, “It was
like walking with a rock in my shoe.” The pressure made him
feel like he was falling forward when he stood straight up. He
noticed his toes were curling up, rubbing against his shoes,
and breaking down the skin. As a person dealing with type 2
diabetes, he knew that any damage to an extremity could lead
to serious complications.
“I was apprehensive, because years ago I had some illadvised surgery on my foot at another clinic,” Raiford said.
After that unpleasant experience, he told his radio audience
“Don’t ever let them cut on your feet.”
“I got several opinions, and I read up,” he said about
how he tried to better understand his ailment; and he
chose W. Hodges Davis, MD, from the OrthoCarolina Foot
& Ankle Institute. “I asked him a lot of questions, and he
assured me that he works on a lot of diabetics. I immediately had confidence in him.” Then, Raiford came straight
to OrthoCarolina, PA.
A bond is formed
Robert D. Raiford, 80, quickly traded his orthopedic boot for his more
familiar biker boots.
“Tami was the first person I saw in the office,” Raiford said.
“We bonded because she rides motorcycles too and is just very
knowledgeable.” Tami Parra, RN, is the clinical team leader at
the OrthoCarolina Foot & Ankle Institute, Dr. Davis’ primary
Tami Parra, RN, is the clinical team leader at the OrthoCarolina Foot
& Ankle Institute, and Dr. Davis’ primary nurse.
nurse, and one of 85 skilled professionals on OrthoCarolina’s
nursing team. She has been at OrthoCarolina for seven years.
“I was the face he saw and the voice he heard,” Parra said.
“He would call me to ask questions about what he could and
couldn’t do. I gave advice and clarified what the doctor said. I
gave him my card with my phone number and e-mail.”
Raiford also speaks highly of Jeff Locke, the orthopedic
technician, for providing excellent service. Parra seconds that
opinion and refers to the OrthoCarolina Foot & Ankle Institute as a “closely knit family.”
the procedures
To solve the foot problems, Dr. Davis decided to reconstruct
Raiford’s forefoot, taking care of the claw toe (curling toes)
and a bunion (enlarged bone or tissue around the joint of the
big toe). He also performed a gastroc slide procedure, which
relieves pressure on the heel cords and front of the foot.
The results
Although Raiford had to celebrate his 80th birthday with
a protective orthopedic boot on his foot, he quickly traded it
back in for biker boots — with Parra’s permission, of course.
“Since I had my surgery, I don’t feel like I’m falling forward
when I stand,” He said. He is back to his old activities, and he
plans to ride his bike in the next Chick-fil-A Kyle Petty Charity Ride, which will take place on July 12-20, 2008, beginning
in Michigan and ending in Georgia to benefit the Victory
Junction Gang Camp and other children’s charities. OC

OrthoCarolina
leads the pack with
research at the
75th AAOS
Meeting
This year, the physicians of
OrthoCarolina and the staff of the
OrthoCarolina Research Institute,
Inc., were honored to have five scientific papers/podium presentations,
six instructional courses, and eight
scientific poster and multimedia presentations accepted for the 75th
Annual American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) Meeting. It
was held in San Francisco from March
5 to 9, 2008.
Orthopedic physicians from around
the world submit short scientific
descriptions, or abstracts, of their
research or instructional courses to
AAOS. After a thorough peer-review
process, a selected number are chosen
to be presented at the annual meeting.
Background: The AAOS was
founded in 1933 at Northwestern
University as a nonprofit organization
with approximately 500 members.
Celebrating its 75th anniversary in
2008, AAOS is currently the “world’s
largest medical association of musculoskeletal specialists” with about
24,000 members internationally. It
provides educational opportunities for
orthopedic health care professionals
and serves as an advocate for improved
patient care and public education.
To become a member, or fellow, of
AAOS, physicians are required to fulfill stringent requirements. In addition
to four years of medical school and five
years of residency, they must pass a
comprehensive oral and written exam
and be certified by the American Board
of Orthopaedic Surgery. The academy
then conducts a review of credentials
before granting membership.
Annual meeting: One of the academy’s educational events is an annual
scientific meeting, which is the world’s
largest orthopedic gathering, with
more than 40,000 attendees. It features
approximately 300 scientific papers/
podium presentations and 1,200
scientific poster and multimedia presentations, as well as more than 180
educational courses.
