Kudzwai
Zimbabwe - Age 11
Kudzwai had surgery at CURE Zimbabwe for proximal tibia and fibula epiphysiodesis. Epiphysiodesis is a technique used to control the growth of a bone permanently or temporarily. Each of the long bones in the lower limbs has growth plates. Our surgeons can selectively slow or stop the growth of a bone by targeting one or more of these growth centers. It was a successful surgery! Thank you for your heartfelt messages and prayers. As Kudzwai continues to recover, please pray for her. Thank you!
Lubelihle
Zimbabwe - Age 14
Lubelihle was at CURE Zimbabwe for her follow-up appointment and is doing well. Dr. Sam will review her again next month. Thank you for your messages and prayers as she progresses on her treatment journey.

Today's wound check and bandage change was way better than her first. Blessing was all smiles and happy with her progress. She will be back in the future for more bandage changes and monitoring. Thank you for your continued prayers and messages. Please continue praying for her complete recovery. Thank you!
