Just a little heart-melting moment ๐Ÿฉต

An attempted hijacking and gunshot to her right (dominant) arm left Mrs Maroo with a fractured humerus & absent radial & median nerve function in March 2024 ๐Ÿ˜”

Her median nerve recovered fully, & she recently underwent a tendon transfer surgery for her radial nerve ๐Ÿฉน She is working hard in her final stage of rehabilitation, & we are seeing the results!!! ๐Ÿคฉ

Hard work pays off! ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ

๐Ÿ’™ Mrs Maroo provided consent for her name & writing to be shared for this post.

South Africa Burns Awareness Week ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Burn injuries happen in a split-second!
At home, at work, or even during play ๐Ÿ’ฅ

Whether caused by flames, hot liquids, chemicals, or electricityโ€ฆ burn injuries affect thousands of people across our country ever year!

As Occupational Therapists working in the Trauma ICU at Netcare Alberton Hospital (a Level 1 Trauma Hospital) we see a wide range of burn injuries, & play a big role in their rehabilitation โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน Our role includes:
๐Ÿ”ธ Pain management
๐Ÿ”ธ Oedema management
๐Ÿ”ธ Prevention of contractures
๐Ÿ”ธ Regaining full mobility & function
๐Ÿ”ธ Desensitisation
๐Ÿ”ธ Scar management including Pressure Garments

Burn injuries donโ€™t have to be a one-way street to disability!!! โ™ฅ๏ธ

What he came in with VS What he left with! ๐Ÿ–ค

Backslabs do a brilliant jobโ€ฆ BUT weโ€™ll argue that our splints are even better! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

While ensuring our patients thumb/fingers/hands are positioned appropriately for their injury & surgical repair, they allow for
โœ”๏ธ Early active mobilisation (controlled!)
โœ”๏ธ Easy mobilisation of unaffected parts.
โœ”๏ธ Easier on the eyes too! ๐Ÿ˜

This EPL repair regained FULL active mobility & thumb function! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿฉต
