Vuthy is a 26-year-old construction worker and both of his parents are farmers. He has one brother and three sisters. In his free time Vuthy enjoys listening to music, playing games on his phone, doing house work, and meeting up with his friends.
In 2015, Vuthy was in a motor vehicle accident that caused a closed fracture of his right knee. His family took him to a government hospital where pins were placed to heal the fracture. The bone has healed but the knee and thigh are stiff and he still has a lot of difficulty walking.
When Vuthy learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, he traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On December 25th, surgeons at CSC will perform a quadricepsplasty procedure of his right knee to help him walk again. Now, Vuthy needs help to fund this $430 procedure.
Vuthy said, “I am hoping that once I am better from the surgery I can walk easily and my leg will feel better at last.”

Vuthy underwent knee surgery.
Five years ago, Vuthy was in a moto accident. Although his knee was repaired, he continued to suffer with a stiff knee and pain. It was difficult to do his job as a construction worker. He traveled to our Medical Partner CSC, where surgeons did a quadriceps release and removal of pins. After surgery he has started to use a knee brace and is working with the physiotherapy team for strengthening exercises. He now has a normal knee joint and his surgical wound is healing well. Both he and his family are so happy with his improvement.
Vuthy said: “I am well pleased after I did my exercises, the strength of my muscle and knee has returned. I can go back to my normal activities and especially I can continue my work and support my family.”
