Kha is a 63-year-old farmer who is married with four sons and two daughters. During his free time, he enjoys planting vegetables and keeping his home tidy.
Two years ago, Kha was in a motorcycle accident that caused a fracture in his left tibia. Kha sought hospital treatment but discovered further interventions were too expensive. The fracture causes Kha to experience pain and have trouble walking.
Kha heard about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), from his sister. He traveled five hours with his wife to seek treatment there. Surgeons at CSC proposed to realign the fractured bone via surgery. On February 22, Kha will undergo the $411 operation that will allow him to walk easily again.

Kha underwent surgery to fix a bone fracture.
Kha’s treatment for his left tibia went well. Surgeons at CSC removed the external fixation that was applied at the hospital he visited previously. Surgeons performed a debridement procedure to remove infected and damaged tissue and a bone graft procedure to fix his bones. Lastly, an external fixation frame was applied to the fracture site for stabilization.
Following the procedure, he was given pain medication and antibiotics, and he was instructed to keep his left leg elevated to prevent swelling. He had one week of physiotherapy at CSC before being discharged. His wound has healed nicely, and he does not experience pain. Kha is now able to walk more easily than before.
Kha says, “I’m happy to be able to work to support my family because I can now walk properly.”
