Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  He wahine i ngaro te haurua o tōna waewae i te mate pukupuku wheua, i whakahoutia tōna waewae ki muri - a ehara i te mea he hapa. Ko Shanna Decker, 24, e whitu ona tau i te wā i kitea ai he mate osteosarcoma ia i muri i tana amuamu mo te mamae o tōna waewae. I kii nga taote me tango e ratou tana turi maui kia ora ai ia. Engari hei utu mo te tapahi, ka whiriwhiri a Decker mo te 'rotationplasty': i te wa e piri ana te waewae ki te huha ka huri ki muri. Ko te tikanga o tēnei ko Decker, nō Minnesota, he nui ake tōna mana ki tōna kuao whakapakoko. PANUI PANUI PANUI PANUI PANUI PANUI PANUI Kōwhiringa: I kōwhiri a Shanna Decker, 24, kia whakahoutia tōna waewae mauī ki tōna huha ki muri i muri i te tangohanga o tōna turi mauī e ngā tākuta. Ko te pokanga, i tangohia ai he pukupuku mate pukupuku, i whakaora i tona oranga. Ka rite te waewae hou ki te turi hou, ā, ka taea e te waewae te nekeneke pēnei i te waewae. Mēnā e hiahiatia ana, ka taea e Decker te taumaha ki te waewae - e mau tonu ana i tōna āhua - me te haere i runga i a ia. Ko te tukanga hou i taua wā tētahi o ngā kōwhiringa e toru e wātea ana ki a Decker, i a ia e whakamana ana i tētahi hōtaka rongoā kino. I taea e ngā tākuta te tapahi i tōna waewae i raro i te kōwae, te hanga rānei i tētahi 'waewae pakeke'. He nui ake te mana: Ko te whakatau a Decker me ona maatua i a ia e whitu (maui) te tikanga he nui ake te mana o tana waewae whakapakoko a ka pai ake tana whakahaere atu i te mea mena kua paahitia ia. Ka koa: I miharo a Decker e whitu tau te pakeke ki te tere o tana ako ki te haere i muri i tana pokanga. Na tona pakeke, kaore a Decker i uru ki te 'whakaoranga waewae', i te mea ka whakakapihia te kiko ngaro ki te kiko whakatipu, ki te tinana ranei, na te mea kaore ano kia tino whanake ona waewae. Engari, i kōwhiri ia i te whakawāteatanga hurihuri, e tangohia ai te pukupuku me te turi, ā, ka hurihia te waewae kia 180 nekehanga. I a ia e tuhi ana i runga i te Rotationplasty.com, ka mea tona whaea: 'E mahara ana ahau koinei te whakatau uaua rawa atu i pa ki to matou whanau. I te tīmatanga o ta mātau ako i te mahi hurihuri, me whakaae au, he roa te wā ki te ako. He maha o mātou pātai, ā, i tino hiahia mātou ki te whakapā atu ki ētahi atu kua whiriwhiria kētia tēnei tukanga, engari i kitea he uaua tērā.' Kāore...
Ko Shanna Decker, 24, i kitea he mate osteosarcoma i te 7 o ona tau. I whiriwhiria e ia te tukanga hou i taua wā e kiia ana ko te rotationplasty. I tangohia e ngā tākuta tōna waewae mauī me tōna turi, ka hurihia te waewae ki te 180 nekehanga, ā, ka whakapiri atu ki tōna huha. Ka nui ake te mana ki runga i tana waewae whakapakoko, 'kaore ia e pouri'
