Orthopedics
Polytrauma, complex open fractures - patients with war injuries are brought to the Unbroken Center almost every day. Our orthopedists-traumatologists often have to collect crushed bones in small pieces. During a full-scale invasion, they deployed thousands of external fixation devices. Osteosynthesis and endoprosthetics are also used. They work so that wounded Ukrainians can walk again.
Orthopedic traumatologists of the Unbroken Center work with the best doctors of the USA, Israel, Great Britain, France and even Australia. In the treatment of military trauma among defenders and civilians, our specialists use the world's leading technologies - blocking osteosynthesis, bone osteosynthesis, replacing bone defects with an augraft.
We plan to develop osseointegration - a type of prosthetics, when the prosthesis is installed right in the femur.
