Pisey is a 21-year-old construction worker. He has two sisters and two brothers. He likes to watch TV and listen to music in his free time.
In June of 2014, Pisey was in a motor vehicle accident that caused a fracture in his left femur and left tibia. He went to a Khmer traditional healer for treatment, but his symptoms did not improve. It was difficult for Pisey to walk, and he could not work to support his family.
Pisey first visited our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), in early December of 2016. Surgeons performed an osteotomy procedure on his left femur to align his bones.
Recently, he returned to CSC to further treatment. On December 20, surgeons performed an open reduction internal fixation procedure on Pisey’s left femur. After recovery, he should be able to walk easily again. CSC is requesting $411 to fund this treatment.

Pisey received successful fracture repair.
Surgeons fixated a nail in the femur of his left leg to hold bone fragments together and heal his fracture. Surgeons also performed a bone graft to fix damaged bones at the fracture site. Following the procedure, he had physiotherapy for one week before going back home. His sutures were removed, and his wound has healed nicely. Pisey experiences mild knee stiffness, but he is able to walk more easily than before without pain.
Pisey says, “I look forward to going back to work and supporting my life again.”
