Dr. Steve Olson Gets US Army Cadet Back in Training
After a day of building a school with her Army unit in Guatemala, 18-year-old Madison Culler was not just tired – she was also in pain. She didn’t know it yet, but a combination of repetitive movements, physical strain, and an underlying hip condition had torn the cartilage in her right hip. She tried rest and physical therapy, but they didn’t help. Then her physical therapist recommended she learn more about hip preservation surgery at Duke Health. Less than a year after surgery, the college student and ROTC cadet passed her Army physical exams and is back to training with her unit.
