The Life Story of Zakeria

Patient Information

v  Name: Zakeria

v  Age: 12 years

v  Sex: Male

v  Treating Surgeon: Dr. Ramin Sangin

Medical Background

The patient has congenital clubfoot in the right lower limb and has previously undergone three corrective surgical procedures.
Following these interventions, the patient developed serious complications, including limb shortening, ankle deformity, and impaired bone growth.

Current Clinical Condition

Clinical and radiological evaluation shows:

v  Growth arrest at the distal tibial growth plate

v  Significant discrepancy in lower limb length

v  Distal fibular dislocation

v  Retained fragment of a broken screw (previously removed)

This condition has resulted in impaired walking, reduced function, and a risk of worsening deformity in the future.

Interventions Performed

Under the care of Dr. Ramin Sangin, the following procedures were performed:

v  Removal of the broken screw

v  Temporary epiphysiodesis to control growth

v  Permanent epiphysiodesis to prevent progression of deformity

Current Need / Request

Despite the performed interventions, the patient still has limb length discrepancy and requires specialized treatment.

Planned Treatment:
Limb lengthening using the Ilizarov technique as the only effective option to:

v  Correct limb shortening

v  Improve balance and walking ability

v  Prevent permanent disability

Justification for Support

This procedure:

v  Is highly specialized and costly

v  Requires special equipment and long-term follow-up

v  Is essential for improving the patient’s quality of life

Without this intervention, there is a risk of permanent disability and worsening deformity

Conclusion

Zakeria is a pediatric patient with a complex orthopedic condition who, after multiple surgeries, now requires the final stage of treatment (limb lengthening).

Humanitarian Appeal

Zakeria is a 12-year-old child who, instead of playing and attending school, lives every day with pain, limping, and limited mobility.
If this treatment is not performed, his future will likely be marked by permanent disability.
Your support can make the difference between a lifetime of disability and a normal life for this child.
