Losuru is a twelve-year-old boy who first presented with a severe windswept deformity in February this year: one leg is bowed and the other is knock kneed. Losuru was brought to a medical center by a friendly missionary concerned about his condition.
Losuru’s health has greatly improved since he has been at the center. Through Watsi, he had his first surgery in June. This initial surgery straightened his left leg. Losuru has recovered well and is progressing with his rehabilitation.
Losuru now needs surgery on his right leg to correct the deformity around his knee that results in a bowed leg. It is expected that this surgery will be successful and that with ongoing rehabilitation, he will recover fully and be able to return home.
Losuru said, “ I will be so happy to go home and not have everybody stare at me when I walk by. I look forward to being seen as normal and not different.”
