For 6 year old Zia Ur Rahman from pakistan, this Ramzan is a memorable one. He is celebrating it in India and more importantly he has been operated for the split in his Tibia, the bone connecting the ankle to knee. Once he recovers after the specified period he should be able to walk normally. He was born with this condition and had unsuccessful treatments earlier in pakistan. The doctors there had recommended amputation as the solution to the problem. It was then his father heard about the Apollo Hospitals through his friend.

According to the doctors at Apollo Hospital, this kind of cases are very rare and occurs in one in a million child. They have also successfully conducted 16 such operations for kids. The credit for developing the solution goes to a Russian professor, G. A. Ilizarov who developed a metal frame fitted with rings and metal rods.
