It sounded as a sentence. But the family began a fight for their son. Maxim completed courses of rehabilitation, therapy, special treatment. All this brings temporary improvements.

This december the boy had a consultation at children’s orthopedic institute of G.I. Turner of the Russian Federation. Doctors can help Maxim. He needed an operation (flexor-lengthening of a crurae, two-pronged). Otherwise he will be able to stand on bended knee as now.
