Sok Khy is a 22-year-old rice farmer. He and his wife live with his parents who are also rice farmers. In his free time he enjoys playing football, fishing, singing, and helping his family around the house.
He was in a motor vehicle accident in 2017 that caused an opened fracture of his right tibia. He went to a hospital in Vietnam after the accident where a nail was fixated to heal the fracture. Now, the fracture is healed and the nail needs to be removed to prevent future infection and complications.
Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, can help. On May 10th, Sok Khy will undergo a hardware removal procedure, which will cost $304. This procedure will allow him to be fully healed and walk easily.
Sok Khy says, “I hope I can recover well after my operation so I can return home and support my family.”

Sok Khy underwent removal of hardware to heal his fractured leg.
Sok Khy had a successful operation to remove the hardware from his tibia. He worked with the physiotherapist to increase the strength in his leg and he can now return to the activities he needs to do and enjoyed before he was injured. Having full use of his leg again will allow him to work longer hours in the fields and support his family financially.
Sok Khy’s wife said: “I’m so happy to see my husband doing better. We are glad his leg has healed, and it was time to take out the metal nails. He wants to work hard in the fields to help our family. Thank you to the CSC staff and you for helping.”
