Sciatic Nerve Repair | Santi's Story

Santi's sciatic nerve was severed in a boating accident, paralyzing his right leg. He and his family traveled from Texas to Baltimore, where they met with neurosurgeon Allan Belzberg and orthopaedic trauma surgeon Greg Osgood. Together, the two surgeons collaborated to offer a novel way to repair Santi's leg and get him back to the water.

Nerve Surgery Locations

Our experts see patients and perform surgery at both the Johns Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore, Maryland and All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Before and after surgery, our patients receive rehabilitative care through the Kennedy Krieger Institute, a world renowned institute dedicated to pediatric care. This rehabilitative care, offered through the Brachial Plexus and Peripheral Nerve Clinic, helps your child recover faster and maximizes mobility and function.
