Arturo Hernandez’s life was saved by an injury he received playing the sport he loves, soccer. Like most little boys, Arturo loved to play. But after a soccer game, he went to his mom in extreme pain. Worried, she took him to the local ER where the physician diagnosed him with “nothing broken.” Arturo’s obvious discomfort prompted the doctor to suggest the pediatric orthopaedic specialists at OIC.

Every mother wants to give birth to a healthy baby. But what if your baby isn’t born that way? What if doctors tell you that, because the bones of your newborn’s lower legs will never grow, your baby girl will never, ever walk? Yvonne was one of those babies. She was born with a congenital condition in her lower legs. From birth, the bones below her knees did not grow. Her mother was told that her baby girl would never, ever walk.
