Amman: The Jordanian Field Hospital South Gaza/10 performed two surgeries that helped save the injured limbs of two patients in their 40s, who suffered from nonunion fractures and advanced medical complications. The procedures were carried out as part of the hospital's continued medical efforts to alleviate the suffering of people in the Gaza Strip.
According to Jordan News Agency, the first case was a patient with a comminuted nonunion fracture in the lower femur, accompanied by acute active osteomyelitis. The second involved a nonunion fracture in the tibia, requiring precise surgical intervention to preserve the affected limbs and improve the chances of restoring function.
The treatment included surgical debridement of infected areas, open reduction of the fractures, and internal fixation using metal plates and screws. In the first case, bone cement was implanted in the femur to fill the bone defect caused by fragmentation and help control infection. In the second, a bone graft was implanted to promote fracture healing and achieve bone stability.
The surgeries were successful, improving the patients' chances of regaining mobility and quality of life after prolonged pain and movement impairment. The operations also reflect the level of specialized medical care provided by Jordanian medical teams in the Gaza Strip.
