Baby Giraffe Able To Walk With The Help Of Human Orthopedic Group

When baby giraffe Msituni was born in February, veterinarians at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park discovered that the little giraffe suffered from a range of ailments, including hyper-extended joints. The Hanger Clinic, a group specializing in building orthotics for humans, performed two procedures to fabricate a mold of Msituni’s leg and create a custom stainless steel brace. After wearing the brace for ten days, Msituni can now roam free.

Praise God for the doctors that helped the baby get better!

[@Julei_]

Wow. I needed this tonite. What a wonderful group of doctors & caretakers.

Kind of a big leap from the brace to a completely healed little giraffe. Had to have been quite a transition. I was wondering what would happen when she outgrew the brace, then suddenly she was romping with her herd. Great job - glad she's ok.

Absolutely amazing! Thanks to the medical team the baby giraffe is able to run free with the herd

[@jodi9290]

Why so many ailments? Poor breeding? I would have liked more on the “why” part of the report.
