A young patient who suffered a severe road accident in Nepal. A metal rod had pierced through his leg, damaging his bones, blood vessels, muscles, and nerves. His case was extremely critical, and timely intervention was the only way to save his leg.

Ridhik had his accident late at night and, in severe pain, travelled for over five hours to reach Tender Palm Hospital in Lucknow. Our team was prepared to act quickly. When Ridhik reached Tender Palm, it was found that the blood circulation in his leg was not proper and if surgery was not done immediately, the leg could have to be amputated.

A Team of Experts Working Together

A team of specialists came together without delay:

• Dr. Siddharth Tiwari (Orthopaedics Surgeon) carefully removed the rod while ensuring no further damage was caused.
• Dr. Ashutosh Pandey (Vascular Surgeon) repaired the damaged blood vessels to restore circulation.
• Dr. Neelam (Plastic Surgeon) worked on covering the large wound and repairing the muscles and nerves.

This complex, life-saving surgery lasted about 5–6 hours, but thanks to the teamwork and expertise of our doctors, we were able to save Ridhik’s leg. Every damaged structure—bones, muscles, blood vessels, and nerves—was treated with precision. A skin graft was also taken from his other leg to help with wound healing.

Cases like Ridhik’s highlight that timing is crucial in serious injuries. If blood flow isn’t restored within 12 hours, saving a limb becomes much harder. That’s why it’s important to choose a hospital with specialized teams.

At Tender Palm Hospital, we have the knowledge, experience, and modern facilities to handle complex trauma cases. Our team works together to ensure patients get the best care in one place.

Right now, Ridhik is recovering well. He may need more procedures in the future, but he has made great progress so far. We are proud to have helped save his leg and give him a chance for a normal life.
