A medical team at Imam Al-Hujjah Hospital succeeded in performing surgery on an 80-year-old patient, who was complaining of a severe fracture in the right hip joint, following an accident.
The surgery was performed by Dr. Haider Dhaher, an orthopedic and traumatology specialist at Imam Al-Hujjah Hospital, with the assistance of the anesthesia and nursing staff.
Dr. Haider Dhaher stated that
“The procedure was performed under regional anesthesia due to the patient’s chronic diseases and his health condition does not allow general anesthesia.”
He explains:
“The surgery was successful, and the patient was able to move and stand hours after it was performed.”
He confirmed that
“The patient is in good health and is receiving physiotherapy.”
