If you would like to learn more about Kelli's condition, and the surgeries she will face in the future, you can check out the following websites:
Dr. Paley is the leading doctor in this field. He has created the hip surgery that she will have this summer. In the coming years, she will need at least 3 lengthenings. The links under "Congenital Femoral Deficiency" are the ones that pertain to Kelli. Congenital Lower Limb Problems
This is where Kelli is being treated. These doctors were part of Dr. Paley's team before he moved to Florida. International Center for Limb Lengthening
This site has some great articles and testimonies of others who have PFFD. A Guide to PFFD
Somewhere I have a PDF file that explains the superhip surgery. If/when I find it, I will post it as well. The site I originally downloaded it from no longer has the file available.
