(joliewatch.com) - There's nothing worse than having a child in the hospital. And Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie may find that one out first hand if their adopted daughter Zahara ends up needing surgery.
The Ethiopian native adopted by Pitt & Jolie back in 2005 is said to be suffering from what doctors are calling hip dysplasia. Unfortunately the only way to totally cure the condition is by undergoing an intense surgery.
Reports claim that Zahara's thigh bone isn't properly connected to her hip, hence she will experience crippling lameness and painful arthritis if the condition is not corrected with surgery.
However, there are also reports that the Pitt-Jolie girl won't in fact need to have surgery. Pitt's rep released a statement that said, "It's not true, and I told the magazine that printed it - but they chose to run it anyways."
