Following Emily's Story

Emily is a lively, happy three-year-old who needs an operation to repair her severely dislocated left hip. Her case was more complex due to complications after a previous surgery. The CAMTA team had to remove a metal plate from her prior surgery, shorten her femur, and then put her hip back into place. The surgery took over five hours to complete.
