Central Coalfields limited has created a new dimension in the field of bone surgery by introducing a new technique of elastic nailing.
A 10-year-old boy Ranjit Birhor, a resident of lapra village, Mahutand, Khalari was referred from NK Area of CCl to Gandhinagar Central Hospital, Ranchi under CSR scheme.
His father is Matlu Birhor. The boy had fallen from a tree and fractured his right femur (thigh).
A team of doctors of Gandhinagar hospital comprising Dr SP Pandey, CMO (orthopedic) and Dr. B. Rajak (MS) successfully operated the boy. They were assisted by Dr. D Kumar(anaesthetist). The fracture was fixed with two elastic nails and minimum invasive surgery on 12/7/2013 which enabled the boy to walk on auxiliary crutches with partial weight bearing within a week. Both the father and his son are elated.
Ranjit will be discharged from the hospital shortly. The entire treatment was facilitated by Dr BMK Sinha, CMS (administration), Gandhinagar Hospital.
