The Krasnoyarsk emergency hospital began to perform complex operations on knee ligaments under compulsory medical insurance (video)

Traumatologists of the Krasnoyarsk Emergency Hospital named after. Karpovich introduced a new type of high-tech assistance. Now residents of the region can undergo arthroscopic reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee free of charge under the compulsory medical insurance policy.

Previously, such operations were carried out mainly in federal centers under Ministry of Health quotas. Due to high demand and busy clinics, the wait could last for several years. Now you can get help without leaving the region.

The operation is performed arthroscopically – through mini-incisions. This is low-traumatic, allows for a quick recovery and gives the doctor complete visual control. To restore the ligament, the patient’s own tissue is used – this reduces the risk of complications and shortens rehabilitation. Reliable fixation of the graft is ensured by modern fastenings.

As Ivan Gvozdev, a traumatologist and orthopedic surgeon at the Emergency Hospital, said, there are quite a lot of patients in need of such an operation. This is associated with the popularity of an active lifestyle: hiking, skiing, scooters, and ATVs often lead to knee injuries.

To get help, you need to go to a clinic or emergency room. After the examination and MRI, if the diagnosis is confirmed, the doctor will give a referral to a consultation at the emergency hospital. Rehabilitation after surgery takes two to three months.
