Overview
- Carson Lees, now two, first fractured his leg in June 2025 when he was about 14 months old and was later diagnosed with congenital pseudarthrosis, a rare condition that causes weak bone and a ‘false joint’.
- Doctors kept Carson in a clamshell cast for the year he waited to turn two so surgeons could perform a complex reconstruction at Sheffield Children’s Hospital.
- The limb reconstruction operation lasted more than five hours and used bone graft and reconstruction techniques common in specialist paediatric limb surgery.
- Carson is recovering at home and remains wheelchair‑dependent while his leg heals, enjoying low‑impact activities such as bowling and small treats from the hospital café.
- His parents have launched a GoFundMe campaign and plan summer fundraising events to thank Sheffield Children’s Hospital and support the British Limb Reconstruction Society as they face an uncertain prognosis.
