Painful Fall from Horse, Spine Injury Leads Sandra to Memorial

Sandra was thrown from her horse, shattering a bone in her spine.

Daniel Aghion, MD, a neurosurgeon at Memorial Neuroscience Institute, diagnosed the severe lumbar burst fracture, stabilized the area with screws and performed a spinal fusion surgery.

Now, Sandra has no back pain and has realistic hopes of getting back to competitive horseback riding.
