Growth prosthesis: 11-year-old returns to life without pain!

Enthusiastic messages from the University Hospital Krems: An 11-year-old was able to go painless again after an extremely complex operation. Thanks to the implantation of an innovative growth prosthesis, which was specially tailored to it, the tumor on the thigh bone could be successfully removed. Primar Dietmar Dammerer, who headed the intervention team, was delighted that you could not only remove the tumor, but also to significantly improve the quality of life of the young patient.

After intensive chemotherapy, the part of the bone lying above the knee was removed and replaced by the growth prosthesis. This special prosthesis enables the natural growth of the lower leg and foot to maintain, which is of crucial importance for young patients. The responsible state councilor Ludwig Schleritzko emphasized the importance of medical advances, especially for younger patients, and the need for a well -networked health system to create optimal conditions. The 11-year-old David not only regains his mobility, but can also lead a carefree life again, such as Noen.at reports.
