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.
Upon returning to Jeddah, he sought additional medical attention at another hospital. Unfortunately, the doctors there
misdiagnosed his injury, dismissing the fracture and advising him to keep the plaster cast on. This incorrect treatment
worsened his condition.
