LPBW: Tori Roloff Breaks Down Over Son Jackson’s Bowing Legs!
Jackson’s surgery was not easy for Tori and Zach, who have been open about their son’s condition and challenges. The young boy was born with achondroplasia, a type of dwarfism that affects the growth of bones and causes bowed legs. Tori and Zach were aware that their kid had a 50% chance of inheriting it, yet they decided to start a family. Well, they eventually aimed to improve their child’s quality of life and prevent further problems. For this reason, they decided to have Jackson undergo a tibial osteotomy, which entails realigning the bones to enhance stability.
Although the procedure was successful, there was a lengthy and uncomfortable recovery period. Recently, the LPBW star Tori Roloff posted a video of Jackson walking with his walker towards a crib, where their newborn brother Josiah was giggling and looking at him. Big Bro attempted to climb the cot rail to see his sibling, but his casts prevented him from doing so. Fans also noticed that the kid’s legs were looking more bowed than it was before. Tori later explained that she lifted Jackson so he could see Josiah and kiss him.
Many LPBW fans were curious about why his legs still looked bowed after his surgery, which was supposed to help them straighten over time. Zach responded to their questions, saying it was tough to see the difference because Jackson grew very slowly. He said that the screws in his son’s legs helped straighten them as he grew, but for him, he maybe grew an inch a year, so it was not apparent for a while. He said that the difference would be quicker to see for an average person with the same surgery.
