MIA
Meet Mia.
Mia was found in critical condition with a severe pelvic limb injury caused by deliberate violence - her limb had been amputated with an axe. She remained on the street without medical assistance for a long time, which led to extreme physical exhaustion and a risk of death.
After being transported and stabilized, funds were raised for her treatment, rehabilitation, and high-tech prosthetics thanks to the support of compassionate people.
Comprehensive diagnostics included:
clinical examination
computed tomography in DICOM format
three-dimensional modeling in a 3D environment
creation of surgical guides for precise osteotomy
Key technical solutions:
a custom implant made of Ti6Al4V (titanium alloy), 3D-printed
surgical guides for precise osteotomy and implant positioning
locking screw fixation for stable integration with the bone
shock-absorbing polymer pads, printed with an FDM printer, providing effective load distribution and restoration of limb biomechanics
RYZHYK
Young, wild & free.
Ryzhyk is a cheerful cat who survived a severe injury that resulted in a low-level amputation of his forelimb. Standard prosthetic solutions were not suitable for him, as the goal was not only to restore weight-bearing function but also to ensure complete integration of the prosthesis with the bone tissue - allowing him to run, play, and live without limitations again.
Comprehensive treatment included:
Biointegrated prosthetic surgery using a custom-made TOP (Transcutaneous Osseointegration Prosthesis) implant, designed based on computed tomography (CT) data
Precision 3D design for an exact anatomical fit
Surgical implantation of a Ti6Al4V titanium alloy device, ensuring biocompatibility, strength, and long-term durability
Key technical solutions:
Custom implant design based on CT imaging
Even load distribution for a natural gait
Stable fixation for long-term reliability
Designed for low-level amputations of forelimbs or hindlimbs
The TOP implant demonstrated excellent efficiency and stability. Ryzhyk fully adapted to the prosthesis, returned to an active lifestyle, and now enjoys unrestricted, pain-free movement once again.
Ryzhyk’s post-surgical recovery progressed rapidly and without complications.
By day 6, he cautiously began to bear weight on the operated limb
By day 14, full weight-bearing function was restored
After 7.5 months, the limb remained fully functional with no signs of complications or implant rejection.
RUBY
A New Chapter in Ruby’s Life
Ruby is a charming Welsh Corgi who faced a serious orthopedic problem: angular forelimb deformity caused by short radius syndrome. She had a significant length discrepancy between the radius and ulna bones, which led to a pronounced limb deformity, impaired joint biomechanics, and the risk of progressive degenerative changes in the carpal and elbow joints. Thanks to modern technology and a custom-made implant, Ruby was given the chance to move without pain and return to an active life.
Implant For Ruby’s osteosynthesis, a custom-designed RCP implant was used, specifically developed for the correction of congenital or acquired antebrachial deformities. The implant was fully adapted to the patient’s anatomy through precise 3D modeling, enabling accurate surgical execution and optimal realignment of the bones.
Key features:
Custom design - based on CT imaging for an exact anatomical fit
Material - Ti6Al4V titanium alloy (Grade 23) offering high biocompatibility, strength, and light weight
Functionality - restores anatomically correct alignment of the antebrachium and ensures even load distribution
Complication prevention - deformity correction reduces the risk of progressive degenerative changes in the elbow and carpal joints
The RCP implant provided stable fixation and precise realignment of the antebrachium. Following surgery, Ruby regained a natural gait, returned to an active lifestyle, and eliminated the risk of future chronic pain. This successful correction not only restored her mobility but also significantly improved her long-term joint health and overall quality of life.
TOR
In the spring of 2022, an explosion tore off his limb, leaving him fighting for life.
Months later, he became the first large dog to receive a biointegrated prosthesis - a limb permanently fused with bone, never needing removal.
Today, Tor runs, jumps, and scratches his face as if the prosthetic were his own paw. Against all odds, he not only survived but reclaimed his joy, turning tragedy into a story of resilience and hope.
The diagnostic process comprised:
thorough clinical assessment
computed tomography scans in DICOM format
3D modeling in a virtual environment
development of surgical guides to ensure accurate osteotomy
Key technical solutions included:
a patient-specific implant manufactured from Ti6Al4V (titanium alloy) using 3D printing technology
surgical guides enabling precise osteotomy and accurate implant placement
locking screw fixation ensuring reliable stability and bone integration
shock-absorbing polymer pads, FDM-printed, designed to distribute loads effectively and restore proper limb biomechanics
Following surgery and a structured rehabilitation program, weight-bearing capacity of the limb was successfully restored, with reduced stress on adjacent joints. The patient regained the ability to use the limb for support, achieving partial functional recovery. This outcome markedly enhanced her quality of life after a prolonged period of disability.
