Orthopaedic Surgeries
Lack of mobility in a developing nation can be more than disabling. For the battered and broken, Mercy Ships orthopaedic teams make a lasting difference by helping one hurting person at a time.
Paediatric Surgeries
“Orthopaedics” literally means “the straight child”. Surgeons perform procedures on children to correct congenital conditions such as club feet and bowed legs. The surgical procedure is only the beginning of the process. Follow-up, splintage, re-casting and physical therapy can take months to allow for complete healing.
Acute & Neglected Trauma
War injuries, gunshot and machete wounds, automobile accidents, falls from mango trees, animal attacks and a variety of other injuries bring patients to our Mercy Ships orthopaedic surgeons who perform a wide range of operations to generate mobility.
