Venezuelan actress Alicia plaza started a fundraising campaign under the name of #OneHipForAlicia in order to pay a hip transplant operation.
The artist’s left hip was severely dislocated due to a fall she suffered at Hacienda La Concepción.
“I fell and it was very painful. The level of pain indicated that something was happening. When they took me to the doctor and they made me the plates showed osteoarthritis, total absence of cartilage. When I fell, what was left was pulverized,” he said Plaza in an interview offered to Digital Caraota.
“The doctors told me that it was almost impossible for me to keep walking,” said the actress. However, he explained that thanks to the fact that he has always been an athlete because, he enjoys doing activities such as swimming on the farm, being a mountaineer, as well as doing yoga, Pilates and dancing, “he has extraordinary muscles that are supporting him,” but he indicated that has nothing there, so the pain is excruciating and he’s limping.
Also, the actress said that they found out about a Johnson & Johnson prosthesis, made of polyethylene ceramic, that they could get for $ 2,500, but most of the prices range between $ 5,000 and $ 7,000.
“We are looking for supplier houses that want to donate it, in exchange for me advertising them,” explained Plaza full of hope.
