ADELLE'S STORY
Five minutes into her soccer game, Adelle Levi’s shot was intercepted by a defender, causing her to fall directly on her arm. She knew right away that it was broken. Luckily, Adelle’s family knew exactly where to take her for care, having seen Dr. Richard Bowen for a previous injury. Dr. Anthony Scaduto examined her arm and determined that it was broken in two places. She wore a cast for 10 weeks and received multiple x-ray evaluations at OIC’s Luskin Children’s Clinic. While her injury kept her away from sports during that time, the 12 year old occupied her time by focusing on her other interests. In addition to being a member of an academic decathlon team, Adelle enjoys cooking and trying out new restaurants.
