Courageous Kid: Aspen Wilkinson

Courageous Kid: Aspen Wilkinson

Every little gymnast has big dreams, but 8-year-old Aspen Wilkinson is no ordinary gymnast.

“Aspen is obviously a really brave and strong little girl who doesn’t stop ever!” said her mother, Mary Novas.

Aspen doesn’t let her prosthetic foot keep her from the sport she loves.

Three years ago, the budding athlete lost her right foot during a trip to see her grandparents.

“Riding on the lawnmower with her granddad was part of the fun with the trip, and when we pulled up, he happened to be mowing the yard,” Novas said.

“She couldn’t hear us yelling. He couldn’t hear her behind him, and he went to do a pivot and turn back up, and he just ran over her,” the girl’s mother said.

Aspen endured four surgeries and months of recovery, but all that time, Novas says Aspen’s main concern was returning to gymnastics.

Some days are tougher than others, but Aspen has a response for anyone who asks about her foot.

“I just say that I had an accident and I can do anything that anyone else can do,” Aspen said.

“I’m gonna get a better foot, and I really want to get one of the blades so then I can bounce around and it’s easier to balance,” she said.

Aspen had the majority of her care at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children in Dallas, where she and her family share their story with other families dealing with similar situations.

Hospital Staff Attend 33rd Annual Orthopaedic Trauma Association Meeting

Hospital Staff Attend 33rd Annual Orthopaedic Trauma Association Meeting

by | Oct 12, 2017 | Research & Innovation

Orthopedic staff from Scottish Rite Hospital are attending the 33rd annual Orthopaedic Trauma Association (OTA) meeting in Vancouver, British Columbia. Established in 1985, OTA now has over 2,000 members, including medical professionals in all areas of the world. Members gather each year to share the latest research and collaborate with fellow colleagues to bring better care to the injured patient.

At this year’s meeting, 950 abstracts were submitted, with just over 250 being accepted for presentation. Scottish Rite Hospital is being represented by several orthopedic staff and past fellows, with four projects selected for presentation. The research being presented from the hospital:

  • Is Less More? Assessing the Value of Early Clinical and Radiographic Follow-Up for Operative Supracondylar Humerus Fractures
  • The Utility of Intra-Operative Arthrogram in the Management of Pediatric Lateral Condyle Fractures of the Humerus
  • Does Delay to Surgery in Type III Supracondylar Humerus Fractures Lead to Longer Surgical Times and More Difficult Reductions?
  • Does a delay in treatment of displaced pediatric lateral condyle fractures increase the risk of complications?

In addition to scientific presentations, hospital faculty work closely with the OTA to assure ongoing education of colleagues and trainees in the discipline of pediatric orthopedic trauma management. Assistant Chief of Staff Philip L. Wilson, M.D. and staff orthopedists Anthony I. Riccio. M.D. and Lane Wimberly, M.D. continue to direct the pediatric module at the annual OTA Comprehensive Resident Fracture Course. Staff orthopedist Christine Ho, M.D. also serves as faculty for a newly developed trauma symposium for advance practice nurses and physician assistants.

As members of the Orthopaedic Trauma Association, our doctors can be a part of a world-wide medical community that is dedicated to advancing the treatment and prevention of musculoskeletal injuries. Scottish Rite Hospital is honored to have the opportunity to present the most recent research on a global stage to ultimately bring better care back to our patients and children everywhere.
