8-Hrs surgery to repair broken hip and damaged arteries 

Riyadh:  Orthopedic surgeons in Hail (northern Saudi Arabia) succeeded -early August- in repairing a fractured pelvic bone of a female patient. 
Saudi Health stated that Specialists in King Salman Hospital were able to perform a complicated 8-hour operation on the patient who suffered from multiple fractures, after falling on an artificial hip joint. 
Checkups and tests showed a dislocation in the artificial joint which caused fractures in the pelvic bone due to falling. This procedure is considered complex due to the proximity between the artificial joint and major arteries of the lower limbs, the team added. 
Post surgery, the patient was taken to the ICU for observation. She received physical rehab training, which helped her walk and fully recover.
