Friends, we have some joyful news to share: Dr. Naum Simanovsky successfully operated on our ward Ilaria today. He removed the metal implants previously placed on both of her hips and inserted a corrective screw into the growth plate of her left knee joint, which will correct the knee's valgus deformity over the course of a year.
The surgery lasted two hours. Everything went successfully.
Now Ilaria will be able to walk straighter, more confidently, without her knees turning inward. And, most importantly, she will avoid a wheelchair and continue to ride her bicycle.
Thank you very much to everyone who helped Ilaria get timely treatment. Now we only need to collect 5 746€, to fully cover the surgery costs.
