Kurt Heyrman, MD, a pediatrician with Affinity Medical Group referred Logan and his family to
Kenneth Noonan, MD, a UW Health pediatric orthopedic surgeon with American Family Children's Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin. Dr. Noonan recommended epiphysiodesis, or leg lengthening surgery, to help Logan's shorter leg "catch up" to his other leg.
With minimal recovery time after surgery, Logan was back on his feet within six weeks. According to Annette Jadin, Logan's mom, "It's nice to have him back out there running again; just to see him run."
