Dr. Gregory House played by an able bodied
actor Hugh Laurie suffers from Limb Infarction
which causes the character to use a cane to
help him walk. The character of House is an
extreme example of this disability. The area
of the tissue death is irreversible and it affects
the nerves and muscles so that it causes pain
in the effected area. The character of house
has the quadriceps muscle removed on his
right leg. It is portrayed accurately but it is
exaggerated slightly because it is an extreme
case.
