Riva, a young boy who underwent a tendon transfer to improve his gait.

Riva is a shy young man whose eyes twinkle and close as he smiles.  Paul performed a posterior tibial tendon transfer to improve his gait.  He was all smiles the day after surgery so we thought we'd share a photo and a short video of him here.
