Society
Ulaanbaatar, April 11, 2024 /MONTSAME/. Doctors from the Department of Hand Surgery of the Mongolian National Trauma and Orthopedic Research Center (MNTORC) have introduced a new type of surgery in Mongolia.
In particular, surgeons successfully performed a complex operation to replace the damaged elbow joints and the humeral bone with prostheses. This surgery effectively restores hand mobility completely by implanting artificial joints in the lower bones and joints of the humeral bone that were severely crushed and irreparable after a car accident.
The patient's condition, who underwent the surgery, is now stable, and post-surgical rehabilitation has begun.
The surgical team consisted of Dr. L. Nanjid, Head of the Hand Surgery Department at the MNTORC, along with Senior Physicians J. Bayarmagnai, T. Bayan-Ulzii, and Dr. Ts. Sanjaasuren, Anesthesiologist G. Ariunbold and Nurses T. Gantulga, B. Bazarragchaa, and G. Gantsetseg.
