Usha Walking After Surgery

This is five-year-old Usha from Lyangling Nepal. At nine months of age, she was burned by a cooking fire. As a result Usha's foot was severely burned, leading to a disabling contracture that pulled her foot up to be virtually fused with her shin. The burn contracture prevented her from walking and growing normally. This video is of Usha after the surgery she received by Interplast doctors. For the first time since her accident, she is able to walk normally and look forward to a fully functional life.
