The Centre of Anthropometrical
(Orthopaedical) Cosmetology and
Correction™ is a scientific practical institution where a new
trend of cosmetic surgery, the orthopedic cosmetology, originated and got
successful development. As of today, it is the only institution in the world,
which has real experience of work in this branch of medicine.
The technology that we created for treatment of cosmetic
defects of extremities is not a scientific theory, which needs further practical
confirmation, but an accomplished scientific practical search which has lasted
many years. The outcome of this search has become a solid experience of
practical treatment of cosmetic defects at a qualitatively new level, which
fully meets the principles of cosmetic effect - low traumatic consequences,
short terms of treatment, preliminary design of desired result, exactness and
symmetry in performing the adjustment. This become possible to do thanks to the
development and introduction of special methods and technical means, which
ensure the optimal conduct of medical process.
In the structure of the technology one can single out a
clinical component, a technical component and a program diagnostic component,
each of which is characterized by certain peculiarities.
The most important specific character of the clinical section
of the technology is the preoperative forecasting on the basis of using our
classification of cosmetic defects of lower extremities and special forecasting
criteria.
The applied equipment of operative intervention is low
traumatic, significantly differs from known ones and ensures good condition for
reparative regeneration of the osseous tissue during the postoperative period,
and a special surgical access minimizes any traces left after the operation. The
directions of spokes of the apparatus have significant differences as well.
There are characteristic peculiarities in the conducting of the postoperative
period, regimen of activity and movement, loads onto operated extremities at
various treatment stages, temps and rate of adjustment of cosmetic deformity and
others.
The technical component is represented by a special apparatus
of external fixation and other means. Our apparatus is not one of the known ones,
adapted for certain purposes, but one, which was specially developed proceeding
from requirements that formed gradually in the course of a long practical work.
The obtained construction, in our opinion, satisfies the major set tasks and
ensures low-traumatic osteosynthesis with the possibility of exact symmetric
adjustment of both extremities simultaneously, convenient in use at all
treatment stages.
The everyday practical work set the task of a rapid analysis
and assessment of the condition of extremities in cosmetic terms before the
treatment, at the conclusive stage, and, which is more important, in the course
of treatment. To solve this task, there were developed and practically
introduced special programs of computer diagnosis, planning and control of the
process of cosmetic adjustment of extremities - "Osteokinesis" and
"Orthocosmetic". The "Orthocosmetic" program makes it
possible to quickly analyze the cosmetic defect before treatment, to visualize
and plan variants of possible adjustment outcomes both at the first application
and in the course of treatment. The "Osteokinesis" program helps
quickly calculate and plan the value of requisite dislocation of units of the
apparatus, adjustment angles, adjustment time depending on the rate and regimen
and other important parameters in each specific case. The existent opportunity
to analyze, plan and calculate visual, spatial and time parameters ensures a
high level of exactness, predictability, visualization and, consequently,
successful treatment on the whole.
The technology, which is being offered for your kind
consideration, has its interest in the fact that its practical introduction is
needed by hundreds and thousands of patients in all parts of the world. We have
a real notion about the demand for this kind of cosmetic aid in Russia, it is
very high. This can be simply explained: everybody and not only Russian citizens
want to have even and slender legs. This mostly applies to young people, who
feel it keenly if they have some corporal defects. They frequently suffer from a
persistent inferiority complex. Only an active intervention to remove the defect
may help in this case. Presently, in Russia we have only a few factors which
keep back a mass and general use of orthopedic cosmetology resources - the
shortage of information and the relatively high value of the treatment with the
relatively low living standards.
We consider adjustment of small axial deformities of up to 15
degrees as cosmetic treatment, but this only applies to external data, and in
the essence, the adjustment of curved legs is an important prophylactic action,
since the improvement of biomechanical parameters decreases the risk of
origination of degenerative and dystrophic diseases of joints.
Besides, the significance of this technology is that on
condition of proper and exact use of it one can gain a good cosmetic result as
regards the adjustment of legs for a short period (5-6 weeks) with minimum
traumatic consequences.
Disclosing this problem, we become convinced of its
significance and inevitability of further widening of the geography of
orthopedic cosmetology.
Currently, our center possesses the experience of surgical
treatment of more than 700 patients, who went through various special cosmetic
operations on their extremities, and over 200 of that number had the curvature
adjusted.
Our technology is based upon patented inventions in the field
of orthopedics and cosmetology, and for all treated patients we have photo
documents, which visually evidence positive results of treatment. We attach some
of the photo documents as illustration to the information provided.
The author of the technology is a doctor of medicine, honored
inventor of the Russian Federation - Mikhail F. Yegorov.
We can consider serious propositions related to the organization of orthopedic
cosmetology centers in foreign countries, issues of equipment delivery, and
training of specialists.
