Full Story

in 1983 mary shoals was 18 years old when a diagnosis of bone cancer changed
how she walked

that was when they did the above knee amputation

she pursued a career in teaching got married and became a mom

but the prosthesis she wore was uncomfortable and she came to rely on crutches

mary has an extremely short residual limb that poses difficulty with being able to
fit her with a socket so mary has had constant problems

physicians at mayo clinic had a solution osseointegration

with osteointegration we’re putting an implant directly into the bone

the bone is growing onto that implant and then
the prosthetic limb actually attaches to the implant

i just felt like it was an opportunity that i had to take
a two-part surgery in 2021 put mary on track to a more mobile lifestyle

the freedom of just clicking on カチッと押す this new prosthesis and going is just
really exciting to me

her first steps in a new prosthesis seen here in february 2022

i see the future as just me being somebody

it sounds weird but just you know walking so much more
or riding a stationary bicycle

mary’s hope is that her journey paves the way for others
and to show why it’s important to never give up

i think the key is just to let people know that they can have a great life
even if they’re an amputee you know

and that there’s so many possibilities out there with prosthesis
and just to kind of keep people motivated to you know live their best life for
