Srey Mach is 17 years old and in the 11th grade. She has two sisters and three brothers. She likes to cook, watch Thai movies on TV, and read schoolbooks.
In September 2014, Srey Mach was in a motor vehicle accident that resulted in a fracture to her left femur. Surgeons in her province fixated Ender nails to heal her fracture. More than a year later, surgeons removed only the lower nails.
Srey Mach first came to our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), in February 2016. Surgeons removed the Ender nail and performed an open reduction internal fixation procedure to fixate a K-nail to hold bone fragments at the fracture site together.
Srey Mach has returned to CSC because she experiences discomfort when she walks. Fortunately, on February 7, surgeons at CSC will remove the K-nail from her left femur. CSC is requesting $411 to fund the procedure. After the surgery, Srey Mach will feel comfortable again.
