Read our Privacy noticeNearly 100 children suffered harm at the hands of orthopaedic surgeon Yaser Jabbar, a Great Ormond Street Hospital (Gosh) review has concluded.
Of the 94 children harmed, 36 experienced severe harm, 39 moderate harm and 19 mild harm.
Mr Wood was born with multiple pterygium syndrome, a rare congenital condition that mainly affects neuromuscular and skeletal functions.
It causes skin webbing across the joints and, in Mr Wood’s case, it limited movement in his knees and ankles.
The frame was removed and Mr Wood was then placed in a permanent full-length leg cast to support his leg.
