Relieving a patient's suffering by correcting a deformity and lengthening the thigh bone at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Qatif
Under the supervision of consultant Dr. Khaled Wasefi, the medical team at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Qatif's Department of Orthopedic Surgery succeeded in ending a 25-year-long suffering of a patient in his forties by lengthening his left thigh bone and correcting a 25-degree joint curvature.
The patient had a limp in his left leg with a thigh bone curvature since a young age as a result of an accident that had caused him knee and back aches for 25 years. The surgery was successfully performed after the necessary tests to determine the length of both legs and the angle of the curvature in order to choose the optimal treatment method, and after planning the surgery and selecting the appropriate method for correcting the deformity, and the length difference between the lower limbs (estimated at 4 cm) was compensated, and the 25-degree curvature was corrected.
The patient was kept in the hospital until his condition stabilized, at which point he was released to resume his normal life. This sort of operation is notable for its reliance on current medical technology, which matches with Al-Mouwasat Medical Services Company's mission of attracting highly skilled and specialized professionals through the employment of the most advanced medical technologies and equipment in this field.
