Making Impossible Possible
Sylvie was diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and Congenital Pseudarthrosis of the Tibia (CPT). Despite her parents efforts to seek treatment, she fractured her tibia standing still in the bathtub just three weeks after her first birthday. The bones wouldn’t heal. After bouts of research, Paley Orthopedic & Spine Institute emerged as a place of hope. Sylvie underwent surgery at the Institute and achieved bone union just 6 weeks after surgery. She has had one minor touch-up surgery and one rod replacement since then. The expert medical care at Paley Orthopedic & Spine Institute changed Sylvie’s life.
Reaching New Heights
If Liddy never walked into Paley Orthopedic & Spine Institute, she’d be a meager 3’8” in height. Instead, she stands tall today at 4’11”. As a nine year old girl, the idea of metal devices and physical pain was not an exciting thing to look forward to. But when the procedures began and her stature started to improve, it made everything worth it. After a series of surgeries, Liddy left Florida to return to her Kansas City home a teenager standing tall at 4’11”, more than a foot taller than she would have ever been without embarking on the journey.
Indistinguishably Artificial, Inconceivably Ordinary
37-year-old Abdulhakim Almadi, nicknamed Abdul, was born in Saudi Arabia with a combination of a congenital short femur and short tibia with absent fibula. A hospital in Riyadh referred him to Paley Orthopedic & Spine Institute for a treatment that sounded like something out of a science fiction movie: targeted reconstruction of the right hip and utilization of the ankle joint to function as a knee joint. In 9 months, 4 surgeries took place: super ankle, super hip, knee freeze and rotationplasty. On April 25th 2017, Abdul returned home to begin a new life with what he described as “a nice looking prosthesis” and more importantly, the ability to physically function like never thought of before.
