Hello, my name is Philip Savides I am 18 years old, was
born in USA and at present I am living in Cyprus Island, at age of three years
old I was diagnosed with osteosarcoma which involved the right proximal tibia.
Professor Kenan performed surgery on my leg where he removed the tumor and replaced
the bone with a kind of an expandable prosthesis. Ever since I have been under
Professor Kenan care. During the last 15 years I underwent several surgeries to lengthen
my leg and to revise the prosthesis with a longer prosthesis. I am very thankful
for the life I have now. Thanks to Professor Kenan I can ambulate quit good both leg
are at the same length I can do pretty much everything that I would like to
do.
