Miraculous Recovery after 10 fractures : Patient Defies Odds After Near-Fatal Fall in Mumbai

Mumbai- Apex Hospitals, Mulund — an esteemed part of the Apex Group of Hospitals — proudly announces the extraordinary recovery of Suresh Sharma (name changed), a 28-year-old patient who survived a near-fatal fall from building (hight 80 feet) and made a full recovery thanks to expert medical intervention and dedicated care.

Suresh sustained multiple critical injuries, including 10 fractures to his scapula(1), both wrists(2), seven ribs, and a severe head injury. He was immediately rushed to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Apex Hospital, Mulund, where he spent 15 days under intensive treatment, including management of haemothorax with a chest tube.

Given the complexity of his injuries, Dr. Gaurav Waghmare — renowned Orthopedic Surgeon specializing in Hand, Knee, and Shoulder Surgery — led a high-risk, triple surgery procedure.

“To minimize the risks associated with multiple anesthesia exposures, we performed scapula plating and fixation of both wrists in a single surgical session,” explained Dr. Waghmare. “The surgery demanded extreme precision to avoid complications involving the lungs and major nerves.” Thanks to the expertise of Dr. Waghmare and the hospital’s multidisciplinary team, Suresh overcame the critical phase without major setbacks. One month after admission, he was discharged in stable condition. Today, Suresh has resumed his normal activities and returned to his hometown — a powerful testament to medical excellence and human resilience.

“This case highlights the importance of coordinated teamwork, surgical precision, and advanced medical care,” said a spokesperson for Apex Hospital. “We are proud to have played a role in Mr. Suresh’s incredible recovery.”
