The Center for Innovation in Traumatology and Orthopedics (CITO), part of the Rostec State Corporation, has created a unique implant. It fundamentally changes the approach to treating pelvic bone fractures. The pin is made of a unique titanium alloy using advanced 3D printing technologies and has no analogues in the world.
Doctor of Medical Sciences and Professor Eduard Solod called the CITO development a breakthrough technology.
Only 1-2 stitches on the skin, the operation lasts only 20 minutes, and the next day patients can sit and move around with crutches. On the second or third day, they can be discharged.
The developer of the CITO implant is a leading Russian enterprise in the field of rehabilitation industry. As part of its activities in the regions of Russia, a network of High-Tech Prosthetics Centers is being created to provide specialized assistance to patients, including military personnel.
