Mithona is an eight-year-old from Cambodia who is in the second grade. In his free time, Mithona enjoys reading, watching TV, and playing football.
In May, Mithona fell and dislocated his left elbow. His mother initially took him to a traditional Khmer healer for treatment, however Mithona’s symptoms never improved. He continued to experience limited mobility and pain.
Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Center, is requesting $390 to fund an open reduction procedure to heal Mithona’s elbow. The surgery is scheduled to take place on June 21 and, once completed, will hopefully allow Mithona to use his arm easily and comfortably again.

Mithona underwent elbow surgery.
Mithona’s treatment for his left elbow went well. Following the procedure, he was given pain medication and he had one week of physiotherapy at CSC before being discharged. His wounds have healed nicely and he does not experience any pain. Mithona is now able to bend his elbow better than before. He is scheduled for a 1-month follow-up appointment.
Mithona says, “I am happy that I had the surgery. I can bend my elbow better. Thanks to the staff at CSC for the help. I hope to go back to school again.”
