Saudi Man Donates Tendon For Son’s ACL Surgery
In a touching display of fatherly love, young Faisal Al-Suhali became one of the rarest cases of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery at such a young age. This is a particularly critical time for a child, as it’s the growth period and their muscles are not yet fully developed. Faisal got injured while playing football, and his case presented unique challenges.
The Challenge of ACL Surgery
ACL surgeries usually involve using a tendon from the back of the leg to replace the damaged ligament, which can weaken the hamstring and impact a child’s growth. This made it a tough choice for Faisal’s family. The medical team explained the potential long-term effects on Faisal’s mobility. To protect his son’s development, Faisal’s father selflessly offered to donate a tendon from his own leg, ensuring Faisal’s hamstring muscles remained strong and allowing him to grow without complications.

A Heartwarming Gesture of Sacrifice
This gesture is a profound example of fatherly sacrifice, and it reflects the deep sense of responsibility and love that fathers, particularly in Saudi culture. In a video shared online, the doctor described the procedure and then surprised the audience by revealing that Faisal’s father had donated his own tendon for his son’s recovery. Faisal was visibly moved by his father’s sacrifice and expressed deep gratitude. This selfless act will remain a cherished memory for Faisal, and a reminder of how his father gave up something essential to ensure his son’s future health. The video’s comment section was filled with well-wishes for Faisal’s recovery, and Faisal took the time to respond to many of the supportive messages.
