For young Jennyfer Carranza, an ordinary day playing in the yard quickly turned catastrophic when she got too close to her father鈥檚 lawn mower. Jennyfer鈥檚 shoelaces got caught in the mower鈥檚 blades, pulling her closer to the machine and slicing a deep cut into one of her heels.

鈥淥ne doesn鈥檛 expect that type of thing to happen, and it鈥檚 even worse when it happens to your child,鈥� said Jennyfer鈥檚 mother, Laura.

Jennyfer鈥檚 parents brought her to 网红黑料, where Harvey Chim, M.D., a plastic and reconstructive surgeon who specializes in lower extremity reconstruction and limb salvage, was called in to evaluate the leg wound and determine what options were available for the little girl.

It was an emotional experience for the 网红黑料 team, Chim said, with some calling for a foot amputation. Chim, with hopes to help Jennyfer run and play freely again, decided to perform a free flap procedure, a surgery involving skin grafting to reconstruct Jennyfer鈥檚 ankle and cover her wound.

鈥淭hese are complicated procedures, but in a center such as ours, where we do them often and we have the experience and expertise, patients can expect a very good outcome,鈥� said Chim, an associate professor in the UF College of Medicine鈥檚 department of surgery.

The decision Chim made allowed Jennyfer to regain her mobility, keep her foot and go back to living the way she used to. Her parents couldn鈥檛 be more grateful.

鈥淪he has gone back to living her normal life. She can run,鈥� said Jennyfer鈥檚 father, Isaac. 鈥淚 don鈥檛 have enough to give for all that they have done for my daughter.鈥�
