Sophia Das, a 28-year-old software engineer...
Sophia Das, a 28-year-old software engineer and avid hiker, was born with a mild clubfoot that was partially corrected in childhood. Over the last five years, increasing pain and a worsening limp made her beloved weekend trails impossible. Her right foot was visibly turned inward, causing ankle instability and painful calluses. Dr. Evans, her orthopedic surgeon, recommended a calcaneal osteotomy to realign her heel bone and a tendon transfer to rebalance her foot. The surgery was daunting, but Sophia was determined. The immediate post-op period was challenging with significant swelling and non-weight-bearing for six weeks. However, after four months of dedicated physical therapy, she regained a normal gait. The emotional journey was profound; from grieving the loss of her active identity to the triumphant joy of taking her first pain-free hike. She now feels a renewed sense of freedom and confidence in her body.
