Patient Story
Orthopedic Surgery
Juan arrived at Medcare Orthopaedics and Spine Hospital after a series of failed spinal surgeries that had left him in severe pain and unable to walk.
Juan consulted Dr. Nikola, who quickly recognized the severity of his condition. A serious infection had developed in his lower spine, causing a large abscess to form.
There was a large pus formation around the screws in his spine, which were becoming loose. Immediate surgery was needed to save his life and restore his ability to walk.
Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Dr. Nikola and his team admitted Juan immediately. He underwent multiple revision surgeries to remove the infection and stabilize his spine, as the team worked tirelessly to save his life.
After the surgeries, Juan’s infection was completely removed, and the spinal screws were securely repositioned. The procedures were a success, and Juan began his path to recovery.
