Chenda is a three-year-old girl, who lives with her parents and her two-year-old sister. Chenda’s father works in construction.
When Chenda was one year old her mother noticed she had difficulty walking and her gait has remained abnormal for the last two years. Her neighbors told her to come to our Medical Partner Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC) where an x-ray shows dysplasia of her left hip.
To repair this dysplasia, surgeons will perform an open reduction and pelvis osteotomy on the left side. She will be able to walk normally once she recovers and grow up as a healthy girl.
Chenda’s mother said, “I hope my daughter will get well soon and she will be able to walk easily and well after her surgery.”

Chenda underwent surgery to repair her hip dysplasia.
Chenda and her parents traveled to our medical partner CSC for a diagnosis and surgery for her condition. Recovery will be challenging for Chenda as she will be immobilized in a special cast for up to 12 weeks as her bones heal. After that, she will work with the physiotherapy team to learn to walk again. Once she heals, she will live more comfortably and have a better life ahead.
Her parents said: “we’re hopeful Chenda will grow up as a normal child and others won’t make fun of the way she walks. She wants to go to school to become a teacher. Thank you to the CSC staff for improving her life.”
