Heartwarming footage shows a toddler who was born with backwards leg walking, running and playing following life-changing surgery.
Victoria Komada was born with the one-in-a-million condition tibial hemimelia, which caused her to have a missing shinbone in her right leg and a shortened one in her left limb.
Eight specialists warned the three-year-old's parents Marzena Drusewicz, 32, and Dariusz Komada, 41, her only option was a double amputation.
Refusing to give up on their daughter, the pair found a reconstruction-limb specialist in Florida and fundraised £180,000 to pay for her to have two surgeries.
Medics were only able to save one of Victoria's legs, however, a prosthetic finally enabled her to walk.
Following nine months of treatment, the family finally flew home to Norwich on Monday, with Victoria being due to start school in September.

Her parents Marzena Drusewicz Komada and Dariusz Komada (pictured left together) refused to give up on their daughter despite specialists saying amputation was her only option. Victoria's right leg had to be amputated. Pins were then put into her left limb before a fixator (pictured right) - a stabilising frame that holds broken bones in place - was attached
Dr Dror Paley - who performed Victoria's surgery at the Paley Institute in West Palm Beach, Florida - said: 'We achieved all we said we would achieve on her.
'The reconstructed leg is very functional.
'She can walk and run and do sports now. She has a superb result.'
Although thrilled her daughter can play like any other child, Ms Drusewicz admits her treatment was grueling.
'She was in a lot of pain all day and all night,' she said. 'We had all had enough. It was really horrible.
'Of course I was so scared and didn't know what would was going to happen. She would cry and scream so much after the operation.
'Every week she got better and better, and now she is not in any pain at all and can walk normally and we can all start our life again now we are home.
'We were so happy when she took her first steps we started crying. We were on the way to the car and she said "mummy, can I show you something?"
After a nine-month stint in the US where Victoria was treated, the family are home, with Mrs Komada (both left) saying they are 'so happy'. The youngster is pictured right after having her right leg amputated, with the fixator gradually stretching her left limb into shape
With the aid of a prosthetic and frame (seen left), Victoria slowly learned to walk. But the confident youngster can now move independently like any other toddler (seen right)
Tibial hemimelia covers a spectrum of deformities caused by a shortened or absent shinbone, known as the tibia.
The fibula - bone on the outside of the tibia - is usually unaffected.
Tibial hemimelia often causes foot deformities, with some sufferers having extra toes.
