With donations totaling 3,000 euros, Ukraine-Hilfe Berlin was able to have medical implants made for six seriously wounded Ukrainian soldiers. The custom-fit bone replacements are manufactured in Ukraine in consultation with the treating doctors.
The soldiers suffered massive head and limb injuries. In complex operations, surgeons inserted custom-made 3D implants. Each one significantly improves the quality of life and promotes recovery.
One soldier received an implant to repair a large skull defect after a mine injury. Another had to be treated for numerous broken bones in his arms, legs and spine. A third, who suffered a serious head injury in a mortar attack, received a reconstructed skull implant. Other patients received implants for destroyed bones in their hands, arms or legs to restore mobility and functionality.
The average cost per implant was 558 euros. Thanks to the generous support of our donors, we were able to make these life-changing procedures possible.
Ukrainian soldiers risk their lives and health to defend their homeland, their fellow human beings and the freedom of Europe against Russia's invading army. Each implant alleviates their suffering and enables them to live a life without pain. With our Project to help the wounded are doing everything we can to continue to provide urgently needed medical assistance to these brave defenders.
