Whether we are treating bone deformities such as clubfoot, neuromuscular conditions such as cerebral palsy, or genetic anomalies such as achondroplasia, our goal is to help each child become as independent, conﬁdent and healthy as possible. Here is one patient’s story:

Joseph could crawl as a baby, but only by dragging his lower extremities. Kristen Hartless, Joseph’s mother, accepted the probability he would never walk. The family learned of Shriners Hospitals for Children ®— Lexington and made an appointment to discuss possible surgical solutions. Janet Walker, M.D., a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon who researches club feet, limb deficiencies, limb misalignment and children with amputations, examined Joseph. Dr. Walker advised that Joseph, then age 6, have amputation surgery, followed by prosthetics. After a successful surgery, Joseph was very nervous about preparing for his new prosthetic legs. “He was worried he would walk like a cartoon robot,” said Hartless. “Oh, and also, he wanted toes!” The prosthetics department at the Lexington Shriners Hospital went to work and soon Joseph had his new legs. Now 12 years old, Joseph continues to come to the hospital for fittings and therapy every six months. Recently, he announced a big event in his life. “I have been playing the drums for several years, and we figured out how to attach the drums to my walker. Next spring, I will be in my middle school marching band as a drummer,” Joseph said. “Walking, marching, playing my drums. Wow!”
