Circumstances of Injury:

While carrying out a combat mission, Mykhailo came under heavy artillery fire. Seeking cover in a trench, he was struck by a powerful blast that knocked him off his feet. When he tried to get up, he realized he could no longer move his right leg. The sharp crunch in his knee and searing pain indicated the injury was severe.

Initially, Mykhailo didn’t fully grasp the situation until he looked down and saw his torn pants, damaged skin, and an injured knee. The crackling sound in his joint and intensifying pain made it clear that immediate help was needed.

Diagnosis:

• Multiple Blast Trauma (MBT): Combined damage to soft tissues, bones, blood vessels, and nerves caused by the explosive wave and shrapnel.
• Gunshot Fracture of the Distal Third of the Left Humerus (Lower Arm Bone):
  • A fracture caused by the force of a bullet or shrapnel, often resulting in a multi-fragmented injury.
  • Such fractures are typically accompanied by significant soft tissue damage, increasing the risk of infection and healing complications.

Location:

• Fracture of the lower third of the humerus, a site prone to instability and at risk of nerve injuries, such as damage to the radial nerve.

Clinical Solution:

Bone Grafting with Bonalive Granules for the Left Humerus:

1. Bone Grafting:
   • A surgical procedure to repair bone defects using bioactive materials to stimulate bone regeneration.
   • Necessary when bone loss or severe fractures hinder natural healing.
2. Bonalive Granules:
   • A state-of-the-art bioactive glass material that promotes the growth of new bone tissue.
   • Key Benefits:
     • Bone Regeneration: Encourages natural bone formation, integrating seamlessly with the surrounding tissue.
     • Anti-bacterial Properties: Reduces the risk of infection in high-risk open wounds.
     • Biodegradable: Gradually dissolves and is replaced by natural bone tissue over time, ensuring long-term recovery.
