Impact

Since 2002, ALTSO has transformed the lives of over 9,000 children by providing them with life-changing orthopedic care, such as prosthetic limbs, orthotic devices, corrective surgery and rehabilitation. Our programs and global reach have grown significantly over the years – from 50 children treated in 2002, to more than 1,400 children treated in 2012.

Read our Patient Stories to meet some of the children whose lives have been transformed.
