A little boy who had a suspected knee fracture ended up having his leg amputated after doctors discovered he actually had bone cancer. Corinthian Marchant, nine, had his right left amputated above the knee in December 2024 after being diagnosed with osteosarcoma - bone cancer - last year. He began complaining of leg pains last summer and started struggling to walk, but it wasn't until late September 2024 that he got the diagnosis.
