STORYLINE:

After a week of recovery, Baigenkina Fania's right wrist is getting better.

The Kazakh woman accidentally fell four months ago.

After surgery, her right wrist suffered from limb deformity.

In June, a Chinese medical team from Xinjiang had a medical exchange tour to Kazakhstan, during which she sought advice from Chinese doctors.

The Chinese doctors suggested Fania do another surgery.

SOUNDBITE 1 (Kazakh): ABAI HABATAYEVICH BIRGENKIN, Fania's husband
"Doctor Sun (Rongxin) checked the condition of my wife. He said she'd better have another surgery. We really appreciated that he invited us to his hospital in Xinjiang to have the surgery. So we decided to go to China."

SOUNDBITE 2 (Chinese): SUN RONGXIN, Doctor
"This was a difficult surgery. She is a senior woman who suffers from severe osteoporosis. So during the surgery, it was easy to break her bones. The surgery was successful. We had made a standardized, long-term rehab plan for her to help her regain the normal function of her hand."
