People who follow Little People Big World would know that Tori, Zach, and even their kids, Jackson, Lilah, and Josiah, are fan favorites. LPBW helped raise awareness of dwarfism, which started in the family through Matt and Amy Roloff. Zach inherited it from them, and his three children are the same. The couple is usually open about their children on social media.
However, Jackson underwent surgery last year. Although the progress was slow, fans thought something was wrong with the five-year-old. Fans feel that the kid has not benefitted from the surgery even though it’s been a year. The sudden speculation arose from a picture. Here’s all that you need to know about it.
LPBW: Has The Surgery Made Jackson’s Health Worse? Fans Share Concern Over The Same!
People who follow Little People Big World would know that Jackson was born with achondroplasia. It is a type of dwarfism that leads to bowed legs. The situation arises due to a small stature that gives the legs a curve shape. In a recent picture on Instagram, the 5-year-old stood alongside his father. The LPBW father-son duo wore black and denim. Additionally, the little one had a cap on his head and boots as footwear. The picture was captioned, ‘We have a second story’. They were standing on a newly-built floor of their Washington house. The LPBW couple has renovation going on in their new house.
They are building a two-story building right next to their house. However, Jackson’s bowed legs caught the attention of the fans. People took to Reddit to discuss the issue. A few LPBW fans asked if he was deliberately standing with his legs curved in that manner. At the same time, others felt his legs worsened after the surgery. They also needed clarification about the outcome of the surgery since it hasn’t shown any effect even after a year. However, a user jumped into the conversation and clarified. He said the surgery is a challenging fix and takes a lot of time to show results.
Others sympathized with the little boy and hoped well for him. Zach and Tori cleared the air around his surgery even last year. The parents stated that surgery did not ensure an immediate and easy fix. The doctors put plates on his growth plate; nothing changed immediately. Further, in June, she also explained that the success rate of the surgery would be known for at least two years. This is because it is a slow process and takes time to show.

Moreover, in a Q&A, Zach also explained that his son is good but challenging because the screws in his legs help the straightening process. Furthermore, the transformation could be more visible since he grew an inch a year. It was in November 2021 when the LPBW couple, Tori and Zach, decided regarding their eldest kid’s surgery. They opted for the least painful procedure, which was Hemi epiphysiodesis. Fans were worried about him during that time and patiently waited for updates.
Thankfully, it went well, but the outcome is what everyone awaits. Fans felt terrible to see the pain the little kid might have been in. The bowed legs put pressure on his legs, ankle, and overall lower body. However, he aced the surgery very bravely. Although Zach and Tori have visited the doctor to check the progress, only time will show the results. For more exciting news updates, stay tuned to TV Season & Spoilers.
