A 13-Year Journey to His First Steps

A 13-year-old boy from the southern part of India was born with a rare congenital anomaly—one of his legs had no knee joint, and in its place was a small, deformed foot rotated upward. Since birth, he had never walked on his own two feet. His only way to move was by using crutches, and every step of life depended on them.

The family spent years visiting prosthetists doctors across the country. Every expert gave the same opinion—amputation—as the only technically feasible solution. But the family was emotionally unprepared for such a drastic step.

When they reached Foot Care Jaipur, their biggest question was:
“Can our child ever walk on his own feet without amputation?”

This became the foundation of one of our biggest challenges—
to accommodate the complex residual limb and deformed foot inside a prosthetic socket while ensuring proper weight management, alignment, and safe weight transfer.

After a detailed clinical evaluation and multiple discussions, our team of prosthetist doctors led by Dr. Rajiv Agrawal, Clinical Director (Prosthetics & Orthotics), finalized a customized prosthetic prescription through innovative planning and biomechanical analysis.

The prosthesis was meticulously fabricated and fitted by our trained technical team under expert supervision. And then came the moment young boy's family had waited 13 long years for…

For the first time since birth, the young boy stood and walked on his own feet.

His excitement knew no bounds.
His parents were overwhelmed—tears of joy rolled down their faces as they watched their child take the steps they had only dreamed of.

For Team Foot Care Jaipur and Dr. Agrawal, this moment was just as emotional and fulfilling.
A happy, confident, and mobile patient is the greatest reward for our work.

At Foot Care Jaipur, we believe that every life can be transformed with the right approach, dedication, and compassion.
And this young boy’s success story is a shining example of that belief.
