In March 2010 Dr Suheal met Hgoug and planned to address the infected open wound and applied a Taylor Spatial frame (TSF).
The frame was placed and adjusted over 6 months regenerating and repositioning his bone to allow complete healing before removal and his leg placed in a plaster cast for 6 weeks.
On removal of the plaster cast physical therapy restored function and now Hgoug is back to playing football again.
