Bunhorm, who is 16 years old, lives with his parents and younger sister in Prey Veng province in Cambodia. His parents are rice farmers, while his older brother works in Phnom Penh City. Bunhorm loves team sports and aspires to be a professional volleyball player.
Unfortunately, two weeks ago, Bunhorm fell during a volleyball game and suffered a fracture to his right lower arm (distal radius). His parents took him to a traditional Khmer healer, but his arm has remained swollen. He cannot use his hand and is in great pain.
Fortunately, our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, can help with a noninvasive treatment technique called manipulation under anesthesia. While under general anesthesia, Bunhorm’s muscles will relax, permitting the manipulation and correction of his fracture by moving his bones back into alignment. The procedure is scheduled for April 28th at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre, and Bunhorm and his family need your help funding the $521 procedure.
Bunhorm’s mother shared: “We hope his arm will be straight, and he can go back to school and play volleyball again.”

Bunhorm underwent angular limb deformity correction.
Bunhorm and his parents traveled to our medical partner CSC, where he had a procedure to realign the broken bones from a volleyball injury. He will keep his arm elevated, start physical therapy to improve his range of motion, and stay away from strenuous physical activity for several weeks. This will promote healing and prevent future injuries. Bunhorm is anxious to return to school and his friends. This treatment will help his future plans to complete high school and his quest to be a professional athlete.
Bunhorm’s mother shared: “We are relieved my son will no longer have pain in his right arm and return to school because he misses his friends and loves to play volleyball. The hospital has a good surgeon and all the staff work with professional skills and are friendly.”
