A Step into the Future of Prosthetics: Armenia  witnessed its  first-ever osseointegration surgery 

ArmInfo.Armenia has witnessed its first-ever osseointegration surgery-a groundbreaking advancement in limb prosthetics, as reported to ArmInfo by the press service of the Eternal Nation Foundation.

It is worth noting that osseointegration is a revolutionary surgical technique that allows a prosthetic limb to be directly anchored to the bone, offering unmatched stability and mobility compared to traditional socket prostheses.  Such surgical intervention improves the quality of life of patients, in particular, improves mobility, reduces pain, etc.

The operation that took place marked a new stage in the development of prosthetics and patient rehabilitation in Armenia. It is noteworthy that it was performed for the first time not only in  Armenia, but also in the entire region. Generally, this technique is only used in a few countries in the world - in Australia, the USA, Germany and Poland.

This transformative  procedure was performed by none other than Dr. Per Rickard Branemark, a world- renowned expert in osseointegration, who was specially invited to Armenia by Dr. Khachatrian.  Khachatryan said that the Foundation intends to create a professional foundation for providing high-quality osseointegration assistance to individuals in need across the Caucasus region. "In accordance with the Foundation's mission, this initiative also serves an educational purpose. Armenian medical specialists were given the opportunity to observe the procedure and enhance their skills, ensuring that their expertise in osseointegration will benefit future patients in Armenia and beyond," the Foundation's co-founder stated.
