At 17, Ayoki went up for a hit during a volleyball tournament and felt a pop as she landed. An MRI confirmed what she feared — a torn ACL. Referred to Emory Healthcare by a teammate’s family, she put her trust in the nationally ranked experts at Emory Orthopaedics & Spine Center.

“Dr. John Xerogeanes understood my injury and how it affects my role as a middle blocker. I feel blessed to have my doctor and my physical therapist,” she says.

After ACL and meniscus surgery, Ayoki spent nine months rebuilding her strength and confidence. “During recovery, I realized how much I truly loved volleyball. I can’t wait to get back on the court.”

To celebrate her progress, she delivered the first serve at a LOVB match in Atlanta.

Emory Healthcare is proud to support Atlanta’s athletes and help them get back in the game. Learn more: emoryhealthcare.org/centers-programs/sports-medicine-center
