Saudi man regains ability to walk after three years following knee surgery

Asaad Al-Jadhami, a Saudi citizen, has shared his story of regaining the ability to walk after losing it for three years, following a recent knee replacement surgery.

Speaking to Al Arabiya, Al-Jadhami explained that he was unable to move without the help of his children during this period, due to chronic kidney disease and high blood sugar levels.

He noted that after regaining his mobility, his blood sugar levels decreased, his kidney condition improved, and he is now able to go to the mosque and move independently.

For his part, Dr. Ghazi Hakami, President of the Neptune Association for Medical Rehabilitation and a physical therapy specialist, said the association has performed nearly 700 surgeries, including 148 joint replacements, as well as 170 bariatric surgeries and dental procedures for children.
