The surgery took place at Cork University Hospital, but Adam is now back home.
Adam's family praised the staff for taking such good care of him.
"Thanks so much to everyone at Cork University Hospital for the amazing work you do. Please if you can support CUH."
Adam has a brittle bone condition called osteogenesis imperfecta.
The rare, lifelong genetic condition affects both the bones, as well as the connective tissue.
Symptoms include bone fragility, short stature and scoliosis, and other skeletal deformities.
Patients may also have loose joints, blue sclerae, hearing impairment, dentinogenesis imperfecta, and fragile teeth.
Adam has the most severe form of this condition (type III) compatible with life.
There is currently no cure for the rare disease, but there is treatment available.
There are also multiple stem cell trials happening around the world.
Adam's family hopes he can continue these therapies in the future.
