Aurora, age 2, is bursting with energy and enjoys playing with dolls and having tea parties with her family. She was born with fibular hemimelia, a rare condition that caused her fibula, or calf bone, to be missing in her right leg. Aurora and her family came to Scottish Rite for Children to determine whether they should keep or amputate Aurora’s foot. After discussions with pediatric orthopedic surgeon Corey S. Gill, M.D., they decided amputation was the best option, which prepared Aurora for a prosthesis. Since receiving her custom-made prosthesis, Aurora is unstoppable and is enjoying the ability to walk, run and play with her siblings. #fibularhemimelia #kidsamputation #drcoreygill #scottishrite #prostheticleg #patientcare #patientstory
