A 63-year-old man from Karbala regained his ability to walk shortly after undergoing a successful total hip replacement surgery at Alkafeel Hospital, following a traffic accident that resulted in a femoral fracture.
Dr. Haitham Al-Asadi, Consultant Orthopedic and Trauma Surgeon at the hospital, stated that the patient sustained a femoral fracture due to a road traffic accident. "After initial assessment and first-line treatments, it was determined that a total hip replacement would be more suitable for the patient’s age, rather than fracture fixation," he explained.
Dr. Al-Asadi further noted that a prosthetic joint appropriate for the patient’s age and mobility level was selected, and the surgery was successfully completed. He added that such procedures are routinely performed at Alkafeel Hospital thanks to the availability of advanced surgical technologies and medical expertise
