What is PFFD?Proximal femoral focal deficiency is a complex birth defect in which the upper part of the femur bone (in the thigh) is either malformed or missing, causing one leg to be shorter than the other. This difference causes functional problems with a child’s ability to walk and can stress other bones and joints in the body in an effort to compensate.

Proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD) is an uncommon condition that affects about 1 in every 200,000 children, and can vary in severity from child to child. Often children with PFFD have other bone and muscle disorders — such as malrotation, limb-length discrepancies, joint instability and muscle weakness — that also must be addressed.

There are several treatment strategies. Greyson is under the care of a Pediatric Orthopedic surgeon who is renowned for handling orthopedic birth defects. Greyson's surgeon, along with a multidisciplinary team of nurses, prosthetic experts and physical therapists are working together to give Greyson the best possible chance to increase functionality in his right leg.
