aboutOHFU
It is a non-profit organization that serves the orthopedic and surgical needs of Ukrainian hospitals. Currently, Ukrainian orthopedic services receive a large number of patients with serious bone abnormalities due to war trauma. Many of these injuries involve complex bone reconstruction, requiring technological solutions that are faster than traditional treatments, as well as materials with appropriate biocompatibility and purity. These can be used for traumatic injuries3DThe printed implants have been shown to adhere well to bone and have antibacterial properties to control infections.
OHFUexecutive director ofJanine Ignatenkoexplain:“OHFUA key part of the mission is to identify new technologies and capabilities that can rapidly treat complex bone defects caused by war-related injuries that result in very high amputation rates. There are currently limited partner technologies that can meet the specific cooperation needs of our hospital. “
He continued:“Meanwhile, as a potential solution, we have observed and studied3DImplant printing technology. After reviewing a series of peer-reviewed articles and studies, we contactedOPMthe only biomedical in the world3DPrintlardA supplier of polymer implants, the company has a proven track record in successfully treating complex and specific patients. “

Janine Ignatenko“Surgeons at our hospital also urgently need suture anchors to reattach soft tissue to bone.OPMThe suture anchor solution was ideal for our situation because it allows for bone ingrowth, inherent antimicrobial properties, and a relatively low unit cost. Also,OPMThe instrument suite is sterilizable and reusable, an important advantage for our partner hospitals. “
He continued:“OPMThe first batch of suture anchors and treatment instruments were shipped to us free of charge and a specific program was launched for the first patient.3DPrint the layout plan.OPMCommitted toOHFUsurgeons continue to provide free3DImplant printing. However, our needs are great and we want to give everyone and organizations that can the means to support our foundation. Finally, we recognize the uniqueness of ongoing clinical experience and, in return, will provide clinically relevant data to support surgeons and patients in future global conflicts. “
