Circumstances of Injury:

On May 20, 2024, Dmytro sustained a severe blast and shrapnel wound while performing a combat mission. His position came under intense mortar fire, with shrapnel inflicting significant injuries to his limbs.

Despite excruciating pain, Dmytro remained conscious. Recognizing the life-threatening danger, he mustered incredible strength and began crawling to safety to apply a tourniquet and stop the bleeding. His actions reflect exceptional courage and resilience.

Diagnosis:

Gunshot Fracture of the Upper Third of the Right Ulna with Displacement:

• Gunshot Nature of the Fracture:
  • Damage caused by a bullet or shrapnel, leading to the destruction of bone tissue and potential injury to surrounding soft tissues, blood vessels, and nerves.
• Fracture with Displacement:
  • The bone fragments have shifted from their anatomical position, complicating natural healing and requiring surgical intervention.

Clinical Solution:

Metal Osteosynthesis of the Right Ulna:

A surgical procedure designed to stabilize and align bone fragments using metal implants such as plates, screws, or intramedullary rods.

Key Benefits of Metal Osteosynthesis:

1. Stable Fixation:
   • Ensures proper alignment of bone fragments to promote optimal healing.
2. Enhanced Recovery:
   • Facilitates early mobilization and functional rehabilitation of the affected limb.
3. Durable Support:
   • Provides long-term structural stability, reducing the risk of future complications.
