At only ten years old, Finland has worn so many foot casts that they fill a giant box at his house. This is because Finland was born with a significant congenital clubfoot abnormality on both feet. Luckily, he never needed foot surgery. Instead, his primary doctor at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital took a non-surgical route involving a series of cast corrections and braces to gradually correct his clubfoot. Nearly every week after Finland was born, he returned to the hospital for a new cast. Then, from 18 months to four years old, he only had to wear the boots while he slept. Once he was four, he was done with the braces and immediately took advantage of his functioning feet. From playing basketball and football to joining the wrestling team, Finland has become quite the athlete who’s always setting goals for himself. Now, Finland visits Cincinnati once a year for cast corrections, which he then wears for three weeks at a time. And at every annual visit, Finland sets a new goal to achieve over the next year!
