My son was born with PFFD (Proximal Femoral Focal Deficiency) which is now referred to as CFD (Congenital Femoral Deficiency). He had reconstructive hip and knee surgery along with a pelvic osteotomy at 4. He’ll be 10 this month but we’re getting him prepared for staging to remove his hardware (6 titanium screws) before surgery number 3 of 6 remaining. He’s a special little guy and he’s strong. He wears a non-standard prosthetic leg now but when everything’s all over he’ll walk on both of his natural feet. As for me, I’m going to go to the dermatologist but I won’t be too quick to let them cut anything off of me.
