I write this review on the 1 yr ann. of my injury, Steel Mill accident, where 18,000 lbs of steel rolled up my leg, " Grade III Open fracture of tibia/fibula, medial malleolus, significant soft tissue loss, crush injury", life flighted to Trauma hospital. Had 8 surgeries in 3 wks, requiring a "Skin Flap" (11 hr surgery headed by Dr Russavage), a muscle taken from thigh, artery sewn into lower leg, significant microvascular surgery -more extensive than I even understand, high risk for infection/ "not taking", why leeches were used in ICU for a week +, Never got an infection under Trauma Team headed by Dr Ivan Tarkin & Dr Russavage. 7 months later, 9th surgery, a Bone Graft, Dr R re-opened the Skin Flap, I was walking before the Bone Graft & I am walking now, I have "Drop foot "due to the crushing, so I use a brace & a cane when out & about. Deeply Thankful, indebted with gratitude for my Trauma Team. I & wife especially looked forward to visits with Dr Russavage, LOVED his bedside manner, witty, very personable, always laughed during our appointments, he almost became a Dentist, we think he'd made a fine Comedian! but Truly thankful he was on my Trauma Team as his fine surgical skill, though a long healing process, saved MY LEG from an amputation. Also GREAT staff, Morgan deserves a mention, answering all questions quickly on My UPMC. Excellent Surgeon, known for taking the more difficult cases with a good outcome, I was one of those.

Great sense of humor. He works well with his hands and often takes your mind off your concerns. Explains well and willing to work with you. A truly wonderful being and you will be sadden when you no longer need him.
