Ukraine Adopts World Experience Of Osseointegration Prosthetics

KYIV, UKRAINE - FEBRUARY 8: (EDITORS NOTE: Footage contains graphic content.) A specialist integrates a bionic prosthesis with Coapt software to a patient with an arm amputation, which allows the muscles in the residual limb to interact with bionic prosthesis of the arm and actively move the prosthetic elbow, wrist and hand on February 8, 2024 in Kyiv, Ukraine. Due to the war, in Ukraine more than 10,000 people (military and civilians) need prosthetic repair. To meet the demand for limb prostheses, Ukraine began to manufacture prostheses itself and to look for new methods, such as osseointegration by inserting an implant and its connecting with the bone, and attaching an artificial limb to it. In the world, only Australia, USA and Germany uses this technique; and currently Ukraine is beginning to adopt this experience for itself. (Footage by SLM News/Global Images Ukraine via Getty Images)
