The surgery was done at the General Hospital in St. George’s by a team of Grenadian and American Orthopedic Surgeons and medical theatre technicians. The specialists included Dr. Kester Dragon, Medical Director at the General Hospital. Dr. Dragon said the success of the procedure augurs well for future medical collaborative efforts, and is a significant development in the local healthcare sector. “Going forward we can look at undertaking other joint-related surgeries, including shoulder and hip,’’ Dr. Dragon said. The attempts at putting the infrastructure and team in place for such medical surgery were unsuccessful, Dr. Noel said.
