A child with congenital hip dislocation, abandoned by a Chinese hospital,

Successfully treated in Korea

Chinese couple visits Korea University Guro Hospital for treatment of their child's congenital hip dislocation

[Kuki News = Reporter Kim Dan-bi] The guardian of a Chinese child who successfully underwent hip dislocation correction surgery at Korea University Guro Hospital sent a letter of gratitude to the medical staff. Tang Xinjun (33 years old)'s son, Tang Boyan (10 years old), suffered from a congenital disease called 'spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia'. Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia is a rare intractable disease caused by genetic mutations, causing severe short stature, spinal deformity, hip deformity, and ophthalmic diseases such as severe myopia and retinal detachment, or symptoms such as cleft palate. Tang Xinjun and his wife, worried about their child's uncomfortable walking and slow growth, visited large hospitals in China, Hong Kong, and Japan for treatment, but no one would take care of the child's treatment. The couple visited Professor Song Hae-ryong, a specialist in the treatment of rare and intractable diseases at Korea University Guro Hospital. The hospital said, "In June, Tang Boyan successfully underwent surgery by Professor Song, and since August, he has been focusing on rehabilitation treatment, and the surgery progress is rapidly improving to the point where he can now walk on his own." Tang Xinjun said in a lengthy letter, "I am happy that our child came to Korea, overcame a congenital disease, and found a smile." "I am deeply grateful to the medical staff at Korea University Guro Hospital for giving our family hope and confidence." Professor Song, who received the letter, said, "Tang Boyan may need hip re-correction surgery 4 to 5 years after the surgery, depending on the progression of the disease." "Thank you for sending a sincere letter despite the difficult nursing of the child in a foreign country."
