The first patient was Novosibirsk Alexander’s 36 -year -old resident of Novosibirsk, who found a tumor of the femur after a injury. Such a disease without treatment leads to the destruction of bone tissue and disability. The surgeons took out the affected area and immediately established a prosthesis to maintain mobility.
The main advantage of the new design is modalite. During the operation, doctors can change the components of the prosthesis and adjust them to the individual anatomical properties of the patient. This increases the accuracy of the restoration of the remote bone segment.
As the surgeon-oncologist Alexander Zheravin states, the quality of the Russian prosthesis corresponds to the best foreign examples. After the departure of international manufacturers from the market, such operations began to be carried out less frequently – now about 700 interventions are carried out annually in the country that needs 2000.
Production, including modules, sterilization and packaging production, has been completely localized in Novosibirsk. Technology is ready for mass use, which reduces the number of patients who have to go abroad for treatment. Now the first patient is exposed to rehabilitation and can already move with a crutches.
