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