Successful and delicate surgery at “Almana Hospital in Khobar” resolved a woman's suffering from a fracture and chronic infection in her femur

In a medical milestone that reflects high efficiency and precise surgical capabilities, a specialized medical team at “Almana Hospital in Khobar” Successfully resolved the four-year suffering of a woman due to a nonunion fracture in her left femur, accompanied by a chronic infection and a 10-centimetre-long dead bone. This was after three previous surgeries performed on her at various hospitals inside and outside the Eastern Province had failed. 

The patient arrived at “Almana Hospital in Khobar” in a severely deteriorated state after several hospitals refused to admit her due to the complexity of the case and the lack of the advanced “Ilizarov” technique needed to treat dead bones and stabilize fractures in such rare cases. 

The patient was admitted to the hospital, where she underwent a comprehensive clinical examination and all necessary medical tests and x-rays to assess her condition accurately. Following a case study by a specialized medical team led by Dr. Muhannad Alian, a specialist in Ilizarov, lengthening, and deformity surgeries, it was decided to perform urgent surgical intervention.

Hopefully, due to the expertise of the medical team, a delicate surgical procedure was performed, which included removing the old intramedullary nail, dead bones, and infected soft tissue. The advanced “Ilizarov” bone device was then used to stabilize the fracture and replace the missing portion of the bone. 

The surgery was a complete success, and the patient's condition was stabilized and improved significantly. Close follow-up is ongoing to ensure a full recovery.

Through this case, “Almana Group of Hospitals” affirms its pioneering role in providing comprehensive and specialized healthcare, supported by the latest medical technologies and the most skilled staff, as part of its ongoing commitment to providing patients with the highest standards of care.
