For the first time in surgical correction of kyphosis, the specialists at this clinic used a technology that allows patients not only to restore proper posture but also to maintain spinal mobility and flexibility.
A teenager was admitted to the hospital with a severe, disabling deformity of the thoracic spine. He complained of back pain and increased fatigue, and there was a high risk of developing complications involving internal organs.
Previously, rigid metal structures were used to correct such deformities, which, while straightening the spine, limited the patient's mobility. This new method allows for correction of the pathology while maintaining mobility and improving quality of life.
According to Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development, this is a true breakthrough in pediatric medicine, opening new horizons in the treatment of patients with similar conditions, especially in adolescence, when it is crucial to ensure the young person's growth potential and full physical activity.
The surgery lasted several hours and resulted in the complete correction of the deformity. The postoperative period was uneventful, and the young man was discharged home for rehabilitation. This success was made possible by the coordinated efforts of doctors, scientists, and Russian medical equipment manufacturers.
Moscow's healthcare system currently actively supports collaboration with leading research institutes. This not only contributes to the development of innovative treatment approaches and the introduction of advanced technologies in medicine, but also increases the accessibility of high-tech medical care for Moscow residents.
