His medical history was taken and the initial injuries were specified. These are fractures in the area of the right upper limb, specifically the palm and fingers. An emergency surgical intervention was performed, which the patient tolerated well. He is currently under observation and is in stable general condition”, said Dr. Orlin Toshev from the Clinic of Orthopedics and Traumatology.
