Chanthea is a 31-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. He has two sons and one daughter. When he is not working, Chanthea enjoys playing football and volleyball, watching TV, listening to music, and working around his home.
Chanthea fell down a staircase and endured a severe fracture of his right leg. A clinic operated on his fracture and inserted a nail to help him heal. Now that his fracture has healed it is time to remove the nail so that he has full mobility and doesn’t risk future infection.
Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, can help. On November 30th, Chanthea will undergo a fracture hardware removal procedure, which will cost $230.
Chanthea said, “My family is worried about me having this in my leg. I hope the surgery goes well and I recover quickly.”

Chanthea underwent fracture repair treatment for his leg.
Chanthea and his family drove to CSC to have his leg surgery. Surgeons removed the nail, and after post-op monitoring of the surgical site to decrease the risk of infection, Chanthea started physiotherapy. He hopes to be able to return to playing some of his favorite sports, like volleyball and football. The ability to return to working as a farmer is important to him as he is a single dad and his 3 children live with him. He wants to be able to support them.
“I’ll be so happy after I can walk well,” he shared with us.
