Looking for an Orthopedic Surgeon’s Advice in Faisalabad — 13-Year-Old Child
Hi everyone, I’m posting this because I genuinely need some guidance regarding a 13-year-old boy who is very close to me.
About a month and a half ago, he had a serious leg fracture. The bone was broken on the front side of his lower leg (calf area), and unfortunately, the bone had come out through the skin. He underwent surgery at Allied Hospital Faisalabad, and his leg currently has an external fixator/frame on it.
The stitches/wound situation has become a little concerning for us. Some of the stitches opened up, and the doctors have now opened/managed the wound. There is still one area where the wound has remained somewhat open from the beginning rather than being completely closed with stitches. Even now, it sometimes bleeds, and at times it looks as if there may be pus/discharge coming from the wound.
We have already shown him at Allied Hospital, and we were told that things are okay, but as someone who is worried about this child, I would really appreciate a second opinion from an experienced orthopedic surgeon, especially someone who deals with serious/open fractures and post-operative wounds.
If there is an orthopedic doctor/surgeon here in Faisalabad who could guide us, recommend a good specialist, or tell us where we should get him checked, I would be extremely grateful.
If a doctor needs to see the wound before giving an opinion, I can share pictures of the operated area privately. And if an in-person examination is necessary, we can take the child to the doctor.
I’m not asking for money or donations. I’m simply trying to find the right medical guidance because this is a 13-year-old child, and I don’t want a wound problem or infection to create complications for him later in life.
He has already been through a lot, and his future is ahead of him. His father is not around, and he is also one of the main earning members/supports of his family despite being so young. That’s why we’re especially worried about making sure his leg heals properly.
I had also tried reaching out to my personal doctor, Dr. Usama Bin Saeed, but unfortunately he is currently unavailable.
If anyone here is an orthopedic surgeon, knows a reputable orthopedic specialist in Faisalabad/Lahore, or has genuine experience with a similar case, please comment or DM me.
Even one good recommendation could make a huge difference for this child.
Thank you.
