Kidney failure patient walks again after high-risk hip fracture surgery

Doctors at Vladivostok Clinical Hospital No. 2 have treated a 42-year-old man with a fractured femoral neck, the press service of Primorsky Krai's Ministry of Health reported.

"The situation was complicated by severe kidney failure, which required the patient to undergo regular hemodialysis (blood purification using a machine)," the statement read.

A medical board decided to proceed with surgery, as recovery without surgical intervention was impossible. Traumatologists selected a custom implant to minimize risks and account for the patient's unique physiological needs.

Special attention was given to preoperative preparation. Nephrologist Daria Semenova explained that the dialysis schedule was carefully adjusted: a session was conducted the day before the surgery, with the next one scheduled only 24 hours afterward. This approach allowed the patient's body to recover without unnecessary strain.

The operation was successful. The man is now walking with crutches and preparing for discharge.
