After an FPV drone explosion, Petro lost the function of his arm. Today, there is a chance to restore it

A severe shoulder injury destroyed the joint and part of the bone. The only solution is a complex surgery that can restore movement and independence.

Case summary

  • Date of injury: June 10, 2025
  • Circumstances: FPV drone strike during combat
  • Injury: comminuted shoulder fracture with bone loss
  • Complications: severe tissue damage and loss of arm function
  • Next step: shoulder joint replacement

Circumstances of the injury

27 hours of waiting after being wounded under fire

Petro is a volunteer who has been serving since the first days of the full-scale war.

On June 10, 2025, at 04:30, he and his fellow soldiers were stationed at a remote observation point. The enemy attacked from two directions and actively used FPV drones.

One of the explosions occurred nearby — Petro sustained a shrapnel wound. In that battle, one of his comrades was killed and another was wounded.

Evacuation became possible only 27 hours after permission to leave the position was granted.

At the moment of injury, there was no panic — only a clear understanding of the situation. His arm was unnaturally twisted and had completely lost sensation.

Medical condition

The joint and part of the bone are effectively destroyed

Petro sustained a complex shrapnel injury to his right shoulder with a comminuted fracture and a significant bone defect.

What this means:

  • the bone is shattered into multiple fragments
  • part of the bone tissue is missing
  • muscles and surrounding tissues are damaged
  • the arm cannot move or function normally

During surgery, doctors cleaned the wound and placed a special antibiotic-loaded cement spacer — a temporary solution that:

  • protects against infection
  • maintains the shape of the joint
  • prepares the arm for the next stage of treatment
In simple terms: the joint and bone are severely damaged. A temporary structure is in place now, but another surgery is required to restore function.

Clinical solution

A surgery that can restore arm movement

The next stage of treatment is shoulder joint replacement.

What this involves

the damaged joint is replaced with an artificial implant, allowing movement and function to be restored.

This is the only way to regain control of the arm, reduce pain, and restore the ability to perform everyday activities independently.

Recovery will require time and rehabilitation, but this step opens the path toward regaining function.

Why support is needed

Your support is a chance to restore Petro’s arm

The surgery requires significant funding for the implant and treatment. Without it, restoring arm function is not possible.

Your support will help to:

  • perform the necessary surgery
  • give a real chance to restore movement
  • return independence to his daily life

Every contribution is a real step toward helping Petro use his arm again and return to a full life.
