Big Steps for Amarachi
To run, play tag and try the sport of basketball, those are the new activities a girl from Nigeria is looking forward to most, after a life-changing trip to Mayo Clinic. 'She is very happy, and we are too, quite frankly,' says Dr. Todd Milbrandt, a pediatric surgeon at Mayo Clinic Children's Center. 'Sheâs just a phenomenal young woman and a really motivated patient,' adds orthopedic surgeon S. Andrew Sems, M.D., with the Limb Lengthening and Regeneration Clinic. Step by step, doctors were able to restore her legs to normal, so that she might enjoy the simple steps that most take for granted.
