Last month, the Limb Lengthening and Reconstruction Team held our second patient and family advisory group meeting of the summer! Take a look at what we discussed.

There were so many great ideas and discussions generated and we are excited to show you what we’ve been working on as a result of our engagement with the patient and family advisory council!

We are looking for children and adolescents between the ages of 8 and 18 who use an upper or lower limb prosthesis to participate in a new research study! 🔬

The study will involve an interview where we will discuss with your child what they like and don’t like about their current prosthesis. This will help us create a patient-reported survey to measure satisfaction with prosthesis for children and adolescents.

If you might be interested in participating, please contact the study team at [email protected] for more information! 📨 #ILDN #Walktall #Limbnetwork #UBCorthopaedics #Waramps

If you are a child without Fibular Hemimelia, you are eligible to participate in a new study!

Participation will include laying and standing in an open MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scanner. MRI is a safe investigation with no radiation exposure and is well tolerated by children.

The scanner is located at Vancouver General Hospital and the time commitment for the study would be a maximum of 3 hours. Your child’s MRI scanning will help the study team finalise the steps involved in scanning a participant with a diagnosis of Fibular Hemimelia.

It's a great opportunity to help your friend or sibling! If you're interested in learning more about participating, you can contact us at [email protected] or ask about it at your next clinic visit.
