I am a 26 year old woman with PFFD. I am one of twins, and my twin brother was born with no abnormalities. I grew up a very normal life, and never let my condition rule my life. I received my first prosthesis when I was 1 years old. I have always been very active and received a new prosthesis about every year. I had my first and only surgery when I was 19 years old and that was a partial amputation. It was to allow my prosthesis to be more comfortable. I am now married and my husband and I are discussing starting a family. I would love to hear from other women with PFFD. I am nervous about possibly having children as I'm unsure if my hip could stand the extra weight. I just found this site today and I'm excited about hearing from others just like me!
