Despite a sedentary office job, a 32-year-old man developed severe knee osteoarthritis, akin to that of a 70-year-old, likely due to repeatedly climbing two flights of stairs daily.
San Samphors, 48, from Cambodia, suffering from rheumatoid polyarthritis, damaged cartilage, and a femoral head that had migrated into her abdomen, visited Vietnam 4 times in one year for knee and hip replacements.
Mrs. Mai, 61, whose knee joint was damaged and leg bent backward, requiring a wheelchair, can now walk again after doctors performed a joint replacement.
