Ethan Earl, 12, of Underwood, N.D., shows his new prosthetic leg


In this Jan. 22, 2013 photo Ethan Earl, 12, of Underwood, N.D., shows his new prosthetic leg painted with a character from his favorite TV show, "The Regular Show," in Bismarck, N.D. At age 6, Ethan underwent chemotherapy and a partial amputation called rotationplasty. A portion of Ethan’s femur was removed 2 inches below the hip to just under the knee. His lower leg was then turned around and reattached at the femur, leaving his foot on backward, acting as his knee joint. (AP Photo/The Bismarck Tribune, Mike McCleary)
