Regenerative Medicine: A Way to Restore Health

World Trade Center Moscow, entrance No. 4, 2nd floor, conference hall 5

Traumatology and orthopaedics are rapidly advancing areas of clinical medicine. According to data from a recent study by the Global Burden of Disease (GBD), some 1.7 billion people worldwide suffer from musculoskeletal system diseases, which have been the leading cause of disabilities. Over the past 30 years, their prevalence has increased by 62%, and the number of years when people must live with such a disability has increased by 59%. According to this study, Russia is in a group of countries with the highest prevalence of degenerative spinal diseases and osteoarthritis of large joints. Therefore, the introduction of high-tech treatment methods into orthopaedics focusing on sustainable restoration of the functions of the musculoskeletal system is an important social task. For example, surgical treatment of hip fractures in older people (using endo-prosthetics or osteosynthesis) contributes to a significant increase in life expectancy, a return to the patient’s previous level of activity, and results in the reduction of cases of disability. Today, high-tech methods are used in almost all areas of orthopaedics and traumatology, which in turn help in the development of new directions, while reducing both surgery times and the frequency of human error. What advanced reconstructive surgical technologies help increase life expectancies? What advanced technologies for exo-prosthetics of the upper and lower extremities are used most successfully in clinical practice today? What are the latest advances in the surgical treatment of paediatric patients? What will promote the use of additive, navigation, and robotic technologies in traumatology and orthopaedics?
