Vladislav, 45. Treatment in progress

How Vladislav’s treatment is progressing:

Wounded:

Vladislav, 45, 93rd Brigade fighter, wounded near Donetsk airport.

Wound:

The consequences of explosive fragments, injury to right shoulder:
• a lot of bone fragments and a nonunion fracture of the right humerus in the upper-middle third of the joint
• defect of the shoulder joint

In fact, the soldier has no shoulder joint, without which his arm is non-functional. In this case, traditional medicine uses arthroplasty of the humerus, but this technique significantly limits the shoulder’s movement. Restoration of bone using stem-cell biotechnology will help restore maximum function to the arm and return the hero to normal life.

More about the wounded:

Vladislav, a 93rd Brigade fighter, was wounded on  June 12, 2015 at Opytne, located near Donetsk Airport. As a result of tank fire from separatists, he suffered arm and leg injures – shell fragments  hit his leg, and his shoulder was completely shattered – miraculously crucial nerves were not damaged – had they been, the treatment of the fighter would be much more difficult.

Now, Vladislav’s  shoulder is in a plaster cast.

Kryvyi Rih volunteers appealed to the coordinators of the social project Bioengineering Rehabilitation for Wounded for help, an orthopedic trauma specialist doctor developed a treatment regimen designed to help the  soldier recover quickly.

Vladislav is a resident of Dnipropetrovsk, where waiting for him is his family – his wife and 17-year-old daughter. Before the war, he worked in IT, as a system administrator.
