Nine-year-old Ezra Frech is an athletic little boy with an above-knee amputation. Born with a rare congenital disorder called FFU complex (femur-fibula-ulna), Frech underwent a challenging 14-hour surgery when he was just two-years-old to amputate his non-functioning leg and reconstruct his hand. Just weeks later, he was more than keeping up with kids his own age. With the help of custom-designed prosthetic devices by Hanger Clinic Area Clinic Manager Ryan Russell, CP, BOCO, Frech is able to do whatever activity he chooses, including sports. His favorite sports are basketball, soccer, football, swimming, skateboarding, and karate. Over the summer, Frech was the captain of his undefeated summer league basketball team, and is currently the starting quarterback for his school’s football team. He was also a finalist for the 2014 Sports Illustrated Kids “SportsKid of the Year” contest.
