A New Hip for a Patient With Rare Neuromuscular Condition
It has only been one month since 16-year-old Malena had hip replacement surgery, but the operation has been a game-changer. Prior to the surgery, Malena was bed-bound, suffering pain and problems with her joints like many teen and adult patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). The rare genetic disease affects nerve cells and causes muscles to become weak.
When Malena developed arthritis between the ball and socket joint of her hip, she sought pain relief, as well as an increase in function and movement, through a complete hip replacement. “Her left hip was so painful that it was difficult for Malena to transfer from her wheelchair, participate in regular activities or remain in an upright position for several hours a day,” said Nina Daya, Malena’s mother. “We were looking for the best solution, and Dr. Pereira made that happen for us.”
