The latest treatment status of the Iranian basketball girl in the bus overturn accident.
Dr. Kihani, member of the Therapeutic Council of the Sports Medicine Federation:
Priya Mahramand, the injured basketball player of the Sahar Academy team, was seriously injured on November 8 during the Sahar Academy bus driving accident and was transported today (Tuesday, November 10) to Tehran.
Fortunately, our colleagues in Khuzestan Province were able to restore blood flow to the injured limb by performing a timely and successful vascular graft operation on this athlete's leg. The importance of this operation was so great that if this operation was not done successfully, there was a possibility of amputating his leg. Tonight, after being transferred to Tehran, we performed the first operation on this athlete's foot.
Unfortunately, the severity of the injury is very high and the skin of the affected area is completely gone. In addition, the muscles of the injured limb were severely crushed and complex treatment situations were created.
In this analysis we tried to improve the conditions of oxygen supply to the body during washing, which fortunately was achieved to some extent. However, I must emphasize that the next 24-48 hours are very critical for us and based on the results of this period we will decide on the next steps of the treatment.
Due to the extent of the injury, we are facing a complex and long treatment process, and the treatment may last several months, and today all our efforts are focused on improving the general and local condition of the injury.
