Wounded

Serhiy 41, a fighter with the 95th Brigade. He was injured near the village of Shirokaya Balka in the Donetsk region.

How Serhiy’s treatment goes

Wound

– consequences of bullet wound of the left shoulder joint;

– defect of the large hump and part of the head of the left shoulder bone;

– avascular necrosis of the head of the left shoulder bone.

Serhiy is threatened with the loss of function of the joint. In such a situation, usually endoprosthetics are used, but that comes with complications – even full amputation is still possible. But reconstructive-restorative treatment with the use of cellular technology will help to restore the joint, bone defects and maximize the function of the arm.

More information about the wounded

Serhiy was an officer in the 95th Brigade. On May 1 2017 near the village of Shirokaya Balka he received a bullet wound of the upper third of the left shoulder with damage to the shoulder joint head. This happened during the firing of small arms from the position of terrorists. From the battlefield, Serhiy was promptly evacuated and taken to Toretskiy Hospital, where they performed primary surgical treatment of his wounds and fixation of the left upper limb with a plaster cast.

After that, Serhiy was treated in military hospitals in Kharkiv and Kyiv where he underwent several operations. Then Serhiy encountered dangerous complications – there was edema of the bone, there is a risk of rejection of the left shoulder and, as a consequence, complete loss of limb. His left arm does not function, it lacks sensitivity. But Serhiy would like to continue serving in the army, and for this it is extremely important not only to keep his arm, but also to restore its function as much as possible. That is why Serhiy turned to the project Bioengineering Rehabilitation of for Wounded, where doctors proposed a complex but effective method of treating his injuries.
