My Little Stories

A male patient in his early 50 years old came to our hospital. He complained for pain and swelling on his left knee area. Several examinations were done and it was diagnosed as a malignant tumor in the patella(bone on the knee).

Discussion of the treatment were done, in which amputation is being the best treatment that we can give to this patient. This is to prevent those tumor cells to spread all over the body or some organs of the body.

Yesterday the amputation was done successfully. And today the patient is still in his recovery process.

It was a hard decission but this surgery should be done to improve the quality of life of this patient.

Here are some of the pictures of his leg.
