Surgery turns Long Island cancer survivor's ankle into new knee joint

A 13-year-old cancer survivor from Long Island is able to dance again despite having a left leg that faces backwards, thanks to a rare surgery that used her ankle to make a functioning knee joint. In December of 2016, Delaney Unger was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, a rare type of bone cancer, in her left distal femur. Then in April of 2017, the teen from Selden underwent the 13-hour rotationplasty surgery, also called Van Ness procedure, at Stony Brook Hospital. "I just want to dance again," she said. "Because I've never done anything else in my life except dance."
