Girls high hopes for foot surgery
A 15-year-old girl from the Philippines who has never walked on the soles of her feet has gone under the knife in an operation designed to give her full mobility.Jingle Luis was born with feet so clubbed they twist backwards and upside down. She can only walk using crutches, hobbling on what should be the tops of her feet.She has taken a step towards realising her dreams of one day walking in high heels by going through a two-hour procedure where screws were inserted into the bones of her feet and attached to scaffold-like devices that will stabilise her feet while the screws are turned bit by bit.The scaffolding will be replaced by casts and then by braces, which her doctor Terry Amaral at the Children's Hospital at Montefiore in New York expects Jingle to wear for about a year.A paediatric surgeon says Jingle's condition is almost unheard of in the 21st century, even in poorer countries.Usually babies born with what are known as "clubfeet" have the problem corrected during infancy with casts or braces that gradually bring the feet into correct alignment.Clubfoot is a relatively common deformity, occurring in about one in one-thousand births, but the condition becomes harder to treat if it is not corrected early on.
