Guests from Krakow and Zakopane
We had some very special guests in July. We enjoyed the visit of: Alicja Podgórna – a physiotherapist, and two orthopaedists: Szymon and Wojtek.
They brought with them a lot of positive energy, as well as some orthopaedic equipment, much needed at the Katondwe Mission Hospital.
During their stay, Dr Szymon and Dr Wojtek performed a series of medical procedures, including: a Latarjet procedure of the shoulder, fixation of a femur fracture on an external stabiliser, plate fixation of a humerus fracture, removal of a connection from the femur, reconstruction of hand function – lengthening of tendons, release of contractures, foraminotomy of the L5/S1 spine, correction of hallux valgus and hammer toes in the foot, revision of a wound and removal of necrosis from the femur, correction and plate fixation of the bones of the lower arm.
