Story:

Danny is 17 years old refugee in Amman, Jordan with long history of chronic renal failure on hemodialysis. He developed secondary hyperparathyroidism. As a result, he developed bilateral Genu Valgus deformity of lower extremities at the level of the knees.

This has been causing a lot of pain and discomfort.
The Medical Relief Project of the Assyrian Medical Society has been asked to help. The secondary hyperparathyroidism has been medically controlled in preparation for the corrective orthopedic surgeries.

The Medical Relief Project of the Assyrian Medical Society and the Global Hope Network of Amman, Jordan have shared the cost of performing the final stage of osteotomy for the right knee. The patient is reported to be in good condition.
