Kevin

Kevin was born on December 5, 2017 in Turin italy with a malformation in his right leg.
The whole thing had not been diagnosed during pregnancy and was only discovered at birth.

The pathology is called TIBIAL HEMIMELIA, Kevin was born without the patella and without the tibia and his leg is 4cm shorter and bent inwards. In addition, he has a bifurcation of the femur to make the leg even more complex.

Given the rarity of this malformation, unfortunately it is still little known and no one in Italy performs this treatment, after 7 unsuccessful interventions. The only solution that was proposed to us was amputation. Not only in Italy but throughout Europe.

It is a very rare disease with an incidence of one in a million. Kevin is that baby in a million.
To be able to walk, Kevin needs a series of delicate interventions that only dr. Paley can perform successfully.

Cobblestone was my nemesis I never attempt him without a brace! Dr. Lamm spent
