Meet Vanny, a 63-year-old woman, married with two sons and four daughters. She enjoys spending time at home with her children and cooking food. She traveled eight hours with her husband to reach our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC).
Vanny has left hip pain and is unable to walk. She began having hip pain when she fell down weeks ago. An x-ray at CSC shows a left femoral neck fracture, and she currently uses a wheelchair to get around.
Surgeons at CSC will perform a hemiarthroplasty operation to replace the femoral neck. The surgical operation will replace the broken part of her hip with a prosthetic. She will be able to walk again and without pain after her operation.
Let’s help Vanny get back on her feet!
