Meet Makenzie

One of my last Baltimore patients, Makenzie. This incredible young lady lost her foot after getting caught in a lawnmower. I was able to save her heel and preserve the growth plates at the end of her tibia to give her what is known as a Syme's amputation.

She has had that same big smile on her face almost the whole time I have known her, proving once again that kids are tough and remarkably resilient.
