Tasfiya Seddika A., 14

Tasfiya Seddika Aimon is a bright, kind-hearted, and determined 14-year-old girl who lives with her parents and six siblings, dreaming of becoming a doctor despite her family's financial hardship. Her father is the family's only earning member, supporting the household by farming rented land while struggling to repay large loans taken for his daughters' marriages, leaving him unable to afford the cost of further orthopedic treatment and surgery. Tasfiya previously received treatment under Helpster Charity (Patient ID: 7190), but despite immobilization with a short arm back slab, her fracture did not heal properly and now requires specialized orthopedic care. After learning about Helpster Charity through a medical outreach program at Kutupalong, the family again sought assistance, as they have exhausted their limited resources. Without timely surgical treatment, the displaced forearm fracture may heal in a deformed position, causing chronic pain, permanent loss of arm function, restricted movement, lifelong disability

The recommended treatment is Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) of the right radius and ulna under anesthesia to accurately realign and stabilize the fractured bones, allowing them to heal in the correct position. With timely surgery, proper pain management, physiotherapy, and regular follow-up, Tasfiya is expected to regain normal strength and movement of her right arm, return to school, and continue pursuing her dream of becoming a doctor. If left untreated, the fractures may heal in an abnormal position (malunion) or fail to heal, leading to chronic pain, permanent deformity, restricted arm movement, loss of hand function, and lifelong disability.
