Young Lal Ding was born with a radical club hand, this caused him to be born without a thumb, a shortened forearm and it causes his hand to turn sharply towards his wrist. Lucky for Lal with the help of a groundbreaking new surgery the doctors were able to move on of his toes and a part of the joint up to his hand giving him a functional growing hand and it also straightened it out. Lal now goes to physical therapy everyday to help him get used to his new hand, and they hope that some day he may be able to have a hand that look completely normal. I think this is great that Lal will be able to use his hand and no longer have to struggle with basic tasks like people cling thing up!

That is so sweet! Having this kind of medical technology is incredible and I'm very grateful to live in a time period where this is accessible.
ReplyDeleteIt is truly amazing what modern medicine can do in these modern times. That is such a cool thing for those doctors to do!
