After being injured whilst cycling Steve suffered a serious leg fracture. He initially hoped to recover, but complications meant his leg had to be amputated above the knee, and this was the start of a long and challenging journey.
Steve faced phantom limb pain, emotional hurdles, and the frustration of multiple falls, even after being fitted with a prosthetic limb. But he was determined to get back to his previous life, one that was full of movement.
Through his solicitors, Steve was introduced to Dorset Orthopaedic’s Ringwood clinic, where he was fitted with the Genium X4. With support from Physiotherapist’s Connor and Mary, he’s now rebuilding the active life he once loved, from pier fishing and seafront walks to spending quality time with his wife and grandchildren. Looking towards to the future, Steve hopes to visit Australia to see Great White Sharks 💙
