Meet Karla

Karla is one of our all-time favorite patients! She has a rare condition that affects her bones, making it difficult for her to walk more than short distances.

Due to Dr. Dean’s special training in deformity correction, Karla came to her for help with walking. She wanted to be able to walk further without having to take frequent breaks. After undergoing special procedures to help her straighten and strengthen her legs, she is now able to walk more comfortably and for longer distances! She has the goal of becoming a social worker, and we couldn’t be prouder of how far she has come (and can now walk)!
