Sok is a 47-year-old farmer from Cambodia. She is married and has two sons and two daughters. In her free time, Sok likes to cook, stay at home, and feed her pigs.
In October 2016, Sok was in a tractor accident and fractured her right tibia. She went to a local hospital, where surgeons performed an external fixation of her fractured tibia. Her symptoms have not improved, and Sok continues to experience pain and difficulty walking.
Sok learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), from her cousin. She traveled for four hours with her husband to reach CSC for treatment. On April 3, Sok will undergo a second external fixation procedure to repair her right tibia. After recovery, Sok will be able to walk easily again. CSC is requesting $411 to fund this procedure.

Sok underwent fracture repair surgery.
Sok’s treatment for her right leg went well. Surgeons at CSC performed a debridement procedure to remove damaged and infected tissue. They then applied an external fixation to heal her fracture and performed a skin graft to cover her wounds. Following the procedure, she was given antibiotics and she was instructed to keep her right leg elevated to prevent swelling. She had two weeks of physiotherapy at CSC before being discharged. Her wounds have healed nicely and she does not experience any pain. Sok is now able to walk more easily than before.
Sok says, “I’m so happy with the results of the surgery. Now I don’t feel any pain and I can do anything by myself. Thanks to all of the doctors and nurses for helping me. I’m going to work to support my family again.”
