Sohrab Kihani, a member of the Sports Medicine Federation's Therapeutic Council, announced the first leg surgery of Priya Mahramand, the injured basketball player from the Sahar Academy team, in Tehran and announced that the next 24 to 48 hours are critical for determining the treatment process for this athlete.
Mehramand, who was seriously injured in the Sahar Academy team bus rollover accident on November 8, was transferred to Tehran on Tuesday, November 10, after undergoing a blood vessel transplant operation in Khuzestan, and is now hospitalized in a private hospital.
Kihani told IRNA about the treatment measures: "Doctors in Khuzestan successfully established blood circulation in the injured leg by grafting blood vessels. Otherwise, there was a possibility of amputating this athlete's leg."
He added that after Mehramand was transferred to Tehran, the medical team managed to improve the oxygen supply conditions for the leg by performing an operation and washing the injured area.
Commenting on the severity of Mehrmand's injuries, this orthopedic expert said: “The skin of the injured area has completely disappeared and the muscles have also been severely crushed. "The next 24 to 48 hours are critical for deciding on the next steps in treatment."
