Leang is 26 years old and works for a company. He has two sisters and two brothers. He likes to watch Thai movies dubbed in Khmer on TV, go on Facebook, and listen to the radio.
In November, Leang was riding his motorbike to work when he crashed into a post. He sustained a femoral neck fracture on his right side. He went to a Khmer traditional healer for treatment, but his symptoms did not improve. It was difficult for Leang to walk, and he was in pain.
When Leang learned abut our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), he traveled for four hours to seek treatment. On December 16, surgeons at CSC performed a femur fracture fixation procedure with a dynamic hip screw to treat Leang’s fracture and allow him to use his hip. CSC is requesting $411 to fund this procedure.
“I hope that I can walk better and not have any pain,” says Leang.
