Posta, 22 January 2023: a young actor’s recovery after a neck fracture

Posta reported on Sergen Deveci, a young theatre actor who broke his neck when a lorry hit the minibus carrying him and his fellow actors home from a tour in Amasya. He had been told he might not stand for a year; after 44 days of rehabilitation he was well enough to ask his physician, Dr. Esra Mustafa, to dance.

Rehabilitation outcomes depend on the level of the injury, the starting point and the goal. This report describes one person’s recovery as covered by the newspaper; individual results vary.
