A specialized medical team in orthopedic surgery, fractures, and joints at Alkafeel Hospital in Karbala has highlighted the hospital's unique capabilities and advanced techniques for managing various injuries in elderly patients with multiple chronic conditions.

Dr. Ihsan Al-Faraj stated in a press interview that an 82-year-old patient presented with a complex femoral fracture. The patient had been refused treatment by several hospitals in neighboring provinces due to his advanced age, osteoporosis, and underlying chronic diseases.

Dr. Al-Faraj noted that in the past, treating such cases was challenging. However, since its establishment, Alkafeel Hospital has been a pioneer in developing protocols and mechanisms to manage elderly patients effectively. These include advanced intraoperative procedures, meticulous postoperative care, and the availability of specialized tools and equipment required for such surgeries.

The orthopedic surgeon confirmed that the surgery was successful. The patient was transferred to the recovery room with stable vital signs. Rehabilitation and physiotherapy were initiated the following day to enable the patient to resume his daily activities seamlessly.

This achievement reflects Alkafeel Hospital's commitment to provide state-of-the-art care and addressing the needs of all patient demographics, including the elderly with complex medical conditions.
