Devon is the kind of kid you’ll always find outdoors. When the UTV he was riding rolled on his hand Devon’s family rushed him to the emergency department at Riverside, where they learned the full extent of his injuries.

Worse, Devon’s injury had caused compartment syndrome, a condition that causes severe swelling. Without immediate surgery, there was a chance the muscles and nerves in Devon’s arm and hand would lose their blood supply and begin to die, Dr. Crawford explains. Had that happened, Devon could have permanently lost the use of his arm, which doctors might have needed to amputate. Read More
