Mean is a 17-year-old laundromat employee with one older brother and two older sisters. His sisters are both married and his brother is a student. Mean’s father is a farmer and his mother sells traditional Khmer donuts at the market.
In October 2021, Mean was in a motor vehicle accident that caused a fracture of his right femur and tibia. He went to private clinic and doctors fixated hardware to heal his fracture. Now the bone is united and the hardware needs to be removed to prevent future complications.
Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, can help. On September 1st, Mean will undergo a hardware removal procedure, which will cost $304. This procedure will allow him to be fully healed from his accident.
Mean says, “I hope I will recover quickly from my surgery and can walk easily.”

Mean underwent removal of hardware used to fix his fractured leg.
Mean took the advice of a neighbor and traveled to CSC for hardware removal from his tibia and femur fracture. He rested at the hospital for several days to make sure the surgical site was healing, and then was able to return home. He worked with the physiotherapist to increase the strength in his leg and he can now return to the activities he enjoyed before he was injured. Having full use of his leg again will allow him to return to work and support his family.
Mean said: “I feel much better with the metal removed from my leg, and hope to be strong again. Thank you to the CSC staff and all the people who helped me to be healthy. I feel very lucky.”
