While scaling a wall, Shyam lost his balance and fractured his left arm. “The area of injury looks slightly deformed and there is considerable swelling,” reports our medical partner in Nepal, Possible.
Five-year-old Shyam has been in considerable pain since the accident. He has been using pain medication as a temporary solution, as his family cannot afford the cost of the surgery he needs.
$224 will fund surgery to reposition the fracture in his arm, and hold it together with wires implanted into the bone. The procedure will eliminate further bone deformity and relieve Shyam of pain.
During his recovery, Shyam’s arm will be placed in a cast so that proper healing can take place. With the funding he receives, Shyam will continue to receive medication and follow-up visits to monitor his progress.

Shyam received successful treatment for his broken arm.
“Shyam was put under anesthesia to align the fractured bones in his forearm, and a plaster was put around it to ensure it heals properly,” explains his doctor at Possible. “In three to four week’s time, the pain and swelling will have reduced. He will have to do physiotherapy exercise to get all of his mobility back.”
“I’m thankful to the hospital and to the donors for making my brother’s treatment possible,” shares Shyam’s brother. “This has been a lesson for all of us to be more careful about keeping an eye when children play around.”
