AMA Pro Daytona Motorcycle Racer Melissa Paris successfully underwent knee surgery in June 2010 by Vail orthopedic knee surgeon, Dr. Peter Millett, to repair injuries from a broken tibia and fibula. Paris had injuries in her knee that needed repair.  The surgery took place on the same knee that had been operated on previously (by a separate doctor) using rods and screws to initially stabilize the fracture. Labeled the “world’s fastest woman,” motorcycle racer Melissa Paris had been riding in pain since the first surgery and researched top specialist which landed her in Vail Orthopedic Knee Surgeon, Dr. Peter Millett’s office at the Steadman Clinic.  Dr. Millett treated Paris by extracting the rod from the tibia and repairing the damage to the patella tendon which involved removing excessive scar tissue.  Paris is currently in rehab and continuing physical therapy. She hopes to be back on course competing in the next few weeks.
