Thankfully, doctors saved it. He is here with the story. Max. Reporter thats right, kristine. An infected knee or hip replacement is i disaster.

Heres where the normal Knee Replacement looks like just caps on the femur and tibia. Heres what that he normal replacement looks like next to hazels new knee.

How old are you now . 11. If theres not much traffic. I was walking by myself. Nowadays i guess 10. Reporter 10 might sound too young to some but its the benchmark according to many safety organizations. Thats because several years ago, a study published by the American Academy of pediatrics found that children 10 and over were significantly better at identifying safe places to cross the road, detecting traffic and road dangers, and coordinating information from environment than younger children. Pediatrician Vicki Iannotti says each parent needs to assess the child and make a decision based on the behavior. Its a matter of knowing that the child knows the basic safety of crossing the street, looking both ways, not being distracted by someone who might be talking to them if they are walking with a buddy. Reporter experts say parents who choose to let their children walk alone to school this year should do at least one practice run before the first stuff like that, probably go to the crossing guard and do what she says. I would say that just talk with them at nighttime on even right before they go to school. Reporter only parents know what their children can handle. Dont feel ba
