In order to improve the professional knowledge of all doctors of the hospital, to acquire a new surgical method in cases of bone loss, limb shortening, and osteomyelitis, Nghe An Trauma and Orthopedic Hospital invited Professor Essen Rene to directly discuss and guide the treatment method using the Orthofix peripheral frame.
At the program, the hospital's doctors and nurses had the opportunity to acquire useful medical knowledge and new techniques in bone regeneration using the Orthofix peripheral frame. Accordingly, this method has many outstanding advantages such as: firmly fixing the injured limb, helping patients to move and practice rehabilitation early while still ensuring sufficient limb length; not having to use biological materials to replace bones or use artificial bones but using autologous bones to graft the defect area; minimizing the number of surgeries for patients, thereby reducing the risk of infection and local soft tissue damage. After surgery, patients can be discharged early, take care of themselves at home and only have periodic check-ups.
This technical method is indicated in cases of bone loss after trauma, treatment of osteomyelitis, congenital malformations and patients using artificial joints... It is a bone grafting method to heal fractures, bringing high treatment efficiency for severe and difficult cases. Therefore, this method will contribute to improving the treatment efficiency for patients with the above diseases.
