Dr. Eyal Ramu

An 18-year-old elite gymnast from an affluent family suffered a complex tibial plateau fracture during competition. Dr. Ramu utilized innovative minimally invasive arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation, preserving growth plates. The athlete returned to training within 6 months and went on to win national championships the following year.

A 45-year-old construction worker with no previous medical history fell from scaffolding, sustaining a comminuted humeral fracture with radial nerve involvement. Dr. Ramu performed emergency surgery using specialized nerve-sparing techniques followed by a custom orthotic. After 4 months of intensive occupational therapy, the patient regained nearly complete function and returned to modified duties.

A 7-year-old child from a refugee family presented with untreated congenital hip dysplasia discovered during a school screening program. Dr. Ramu organized pro bono surgical care including pelvic osteotomy and coordinated with translators to ensure family understanding. The child achieved normal hip development after 18 months of follow-up care and physical therapy.

A 33-year-old professional musician developed debilitating focal hand dystonia affecting her piano performance. Dr. Ramu collaborated with neurologists to develop a novel combination of peripheral nerve decompression surgery and sensorimotor retraining. The patient gradually regained technical proficiency over 12 months and resumed her concert career.

A 72-year-old retired librarian from a low-income neighborhood presented with severe osteoarthritis in both knees, having delayed treatment due to financial concerns. Dr. Ramu coordinated with hospital social services to secure funding for bilateral knee replacements performed in staged procedures. The patient regained full mobility after 9 months of rehabilitation and now volunteers at community centers teaching chair yoga.
