Whoever decided to turn the foot around for these amputees had one great mind...she did well with that :) how great to have an opportunity to walk fairly normally....I couldnt imagine trying to walk with a prosthesis...I fall over my own feet as it is
Hi, i would like to know did she get the surgery were they turned her foot around? I think i have the similar case as her, i was very scared and never did the surgery and doctors proposed to me of doing that procedure, is it much better? Is she Happy? Thanks :)
I am a prosthetist and I think I saw Tori walking out of Community hospital several months ago. I think she had problems with the fitting. Anyways one of my practice ( Bionic P&O) is located in munster, 9250 columbia ave, Ph- 3146015010. Feel free to contact me if I can be of any help.
I tried to send you a message, not sure if it went... I also have the RP surgery, but my artificial leg looks more simple to put on and "mess" with. I walk quite well and am not limited by it...please feel free to contact me.
Its amazing how far we have come and how much we have lerned...we have lerned to replace a humon limb and help people who cant do anything do to disobilutys...science is a fainatong thing...i mean where would we be with out it...bc of science some amazing people have givein this little girl hope in here life... :] (bad spelling plz ignore)
'Cause she had cancer and instead of amputating the whole leg and thigh, they grafted her ankle and part of her lower leg onto where the thigh would have been a stump.
That is the most ~@cked comment I've ever seen made about this kind of thing I agree with wordreet, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything!
I had the same surgery at the mayo in 1986 or 87, I can't remember anymore. I was, and am very satisfied with the results.I am 34 now and was 11 or 12 when I had the surgery. I wish you the same luck I have had.
This is so encouraging to me. I have a son that was born with PFFD and he is going to eventually have to have this type of surgery to reverse his foot so that it serves as a "knee". Is there anyway someone could contact me if possible via email. I have all types of questions to ask. Thanks you so much for posting this.
I have heard (from a couple of people) that this type of "fix" (at least for cancer victims) appears to be temporary (as a "BK" procedure), the ankle just isn't really adequate as a "replacement" for the knee. This is one brave child, I sure hope it goes better for her than the people I have heard about.
The individual I had conversed with had had a rotationplasty procedure and was mostly dissatisfied with the available range of motion (compared to his real knee), and so had his "leg" (foot, actually, of course) amputated through the "knee" (ankle), and a "c"-leg built. This is not to say all people with this corrective procedure will have the same results, as I said previously, I wish her the very best of success with this. A friend of his, according to him had the same problem/solution.
Some who have had this procedure have later found that over time the function isn't "all it's cracked up to be", some have even had the new "knee" removed.
I wish her all the luck in the world, don't get me wrong, if it continues to work for her so much the better, it certainly looks as if it beats having the whole leg gone!
Picked up the new leg on Friday morning. She was very scared of it. Probably because she fell the week before and hurt her little leg really bad. So she didn't want to let go of her walker. But yesterday in Chinatown she started to walk on her own. The more we cheered for her the more steps she took. She be running before we know it.
awwww she is toooooooooooooooo cute !!!!!

When she goes to move her foot, is it like actually moving a knee or does it feel like moving a foot?

@BlownUpp
Probably more like a "cross" of the two sensations, than either one of them alone!

With the foot turned around she can use it like a below the knee amputee. Much greater range of motion.

Yes, having no leg at all would be better then being mobile and able to work with her prosthesis. What an idiot

im sorry but that is the most fucked up thing i have ever seen. why not just cut the leg off?

because it allows more function than just a regular above knee amputation
LimbStrong93 2 years ago
@Qdrum803
because its more functional.
And do you think its necessary for a grown man to make a comment like that about a little girl? You must be a very lonely person
