Doctors at the Saudi German Hospital Makkah successfully treated a patient who regained his ability to
walk after a fall from a height, which shattered his heel bone into nine fragments.
Typically, eight out of 10 patients with this kind of injury do not fully recover.
The patient, while vacationing at an archaeological site, slipped from a high point. He was initially taken
to a nearby hospital, where doctors placed a plaster cast on his suspected fracture.
