The survivor’s journey, before and after surgery.
10-year-old boy lived with hand contractures locking four digits and his thumb into an immovable, rigid claw.
Before surgery
Rigid thumb and 4-digit flexion. Burn scars that tighten across the fingers and palm make it hard to grip, write or work.
The surgery
The surgery was done at GS Memorial Hospital in Varanasi, a BHF partner hospital. BHF funded it in full, at no cost to the family.
After surgery
Full extension and independent grasp.
