48 hours are critical for the injured basketball player.
Sohrab Kihani, member of the Medical Council of the Histadrut for Sports Medicine and vice president of the Basketball Association:
Fortunately, our colleagues in Khuzestan province were able to restore blood flow to the injured limb by performing timely and successful vascular graft surgery on Freya Mahramand's leg. The importance of this operation was so great that if this operation was not done successfully, there was a possibility that his leg would be amputated. After moving to Tehran, together with Dr. Arash Malki, an orthopedic specialist and Dr. Hosseini, a vascular specialist, I performed the first surgery on this athlete's leg.
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 to 48 hours are of great importance to us and based on the results of this period we will decide on the next steps of the treatment.
