Surgery helps dancer continue her life's passion
IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital
Lucy York is a member of Ball State's Code Red Dance team who's been dealing with shoulder pain for a number of years. Imaging revealed a tear in her labrum. After failing to get better with conventional treatment, she decided to turn to IU Health surgeons for help. "The surgery itself takes about an hour or so. The recuperation is a little bit longer," said Dr. Kevin Doulens, Lucy's orthopedic surgeon. "The nice thing is, with a case like this, typically you can get back to a full level of play with no change in activities."
