Last year, our incredible patient Jeffrey Glasbrenner made history as the first American amputee to summit Mt. Everest. Today, we’re thrilled to celebrate this achievement with his feature on the Sports Illustrated cover!
Jeff achieved this feat using a custom prosthetic leg designed by A Step Ahead Prosthetics, built specifically for the challenges of the world’s tallest mountain. Engineered for extreme durability, the leg featured custom-welded crampons to withstand some of the planet’s harshest conditions. It’s a proud example of how we help our patients live without limits!

Greatest athlete in the world. Jeff Glasbrenner!
