Thorn is a 69-year-old man who is married with four sons and two daughters. Thorn likes to read books on Buddhism and plant vegetables around his home in his spare time.
On September 7, 2016, Thorn was in a motorcycle vehicle accident that caused a fracture in his left femur. He went to a Khmer tradition healer for treatment, but his symptoms did not improve. It is difficult for Thorn to walk, and he is in pain.
Thorn learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), from his brother. He traveled for four hours with his daughter to reach CSC for treatment. On February 20, surgeons at CSC will perform an open reduction internal fixation procedure in Thorn’s left leg to allow him to walk easily again. He needs help to pay for this $411 surgery.

Thorn underwent fracture repair.
Thorn’s treatment for his left femur went well. Surgeons at CSC fixated a nail at the fracture site for stabilization and performed a bone graft to fix his bones. Following the procedure, he was instructed to keep his left leg elevated to prevent swelling. He had two weeks of physiotherapy at CSC before being discharged. Thorn is now able to walk more easily than before, and he does not experience any pain.
Thorn says, “I can walk better now and without pain. Thanks to all of the staff at CSC for helping me.”
