Accident at 2 years-old




This young boy was not on our list of invited patients. Even though we had scheduled 110 patient for the morning session, we couldn’t let this boy go untreated. When he was 2 years old a traumatic accident occurred where a piece of heavy equipment fell on his right foot, crushing it. They attempted a surgery, but with little success. His foot only contains the great toe, and the 4 other toes are gone. His ankle is abducted so he walks on it very awkwardly. He came into the clinic with a severe wound on his foot. We were able to clean the wound and fit his ankle with a brace from some spare materials. At least now he can walk close to normal and avoid the constant cuts and wound from daily like as a child!!!
