Arthro-medullary shunting is a modern, minimally invasive, and safe alternative to joint replacement, and one of the methods of regenerative medicine.
Preparation for joint shunting is performed on an outpatient basis. The shunting itself is carried out using a minimally invasive method, so general anesthesia is not required.
A hypoallergenic shunt made of high-quality titanium is implanted arthroscopically through incisions up to 1 cm long. The surgery is performed by experienced, highly qualified specialists trained in this technique. All of this guarantees a low risk of complications.
The patient is discharged the same or the next day, with a recommendation to load the operated joint as early as the day after the surgery. In cases of extensive intervention and additional procedures on the joint, the patient remains under observation for up to three days. Regenerative medicine is effective. Since the scope of the intervention is minimal, recovery takes place in record time.
Most patients begin to stand and walk within just 24 hours after shunt implantation! Apart from performing the recommended simple exercises, no special rehabilitation course is required. As a rule, within a month after shunting, patients return to a full, active life.The cost of medullary shunting is several times lower than that of joint replacement surgery.
