Foster child and hip amputee with a positive outlook and the miracle of the new prosthetic hip. Title says RHP but, clip says hip. If it were half the pelvis I'm sure the newscaster would emphasize it.
They said foot, leg and hip. Sounds like a hemipelvectomy to me and she walks like a HP also. Too bad they are fitting her with a microprocessor controlled knee. It is much heavier than a four bar linkage knee and has one too few sensors to really help a pelvic level amputee. Glad she is walking.
Yeah, that's an hemipelvectomy because of the extremely high amputation.
She's a real beauty.
