The first osseointegration prosthetics in Ukraine was carried out in Lviv - a prosthesis was implanted into the patient's bone, reports the Ministry of Health of Ukraine.

“Using classic prostheses for people who have lost both limbs is difficult and often painful.. Thanks to osseointegration prosthetics, you can take the first steps on implanted prostheses already on the second day after the operation and fully walk - already after six months, ”the Ministry of Health explained..

The first patient in Ukraine with such a prosthesis is a 56-year-old veteran of the Russian-Ukrainian war, captain of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Igor Krupnov, who lost both legs as a result of a car hitting a mine.

Munyed Al Muderis, an Australian orthopedist-traumatologist, who has already performed about 1,500 operations, helped Ukrainian doctors to carry out osseointegration prosthetics..

Meanwhile, Ukraine is negotiating with Israel to expand the program of prosthetics and rehabilitation of the Ukrainian military..
