We are improving quality of your life
Currently, the Progressive Fibrotomy method is the most effective low-invasive surgical treatment developed to improve patients’ quality of life with orthopaedic effects of cerebral palsy in various degrees of severity.
Doctor Alexey Repetunov
Following graduation from the Medical Academy and internship in surgery, I started my medical career in the Department of Emergency Surgery. In 1999, after meeting V.B. Ulzibat, I continued my work at the ‘Institute of Clinical Rehabilitation’ in the city of Tula. Under V.B. Ulzibat guidance, I have participated in the development, study and optimisation of the method of Progressive fibrotomy. Now it is more than 25 years since I have started working in this clinic. During this period, we have treated thousands of patients from Russia, CIS countries (Commonwealth of Independent States), Eastern and Western Europe, Latin America and other countries.
Why the Progressive fibrotomy is chosen?
- Progressive fibrotomy is a unique surgical method for the correction of pathologies of the locomotor system occurring in cerebral palsy. Compared to classical surgical methods, the surgery is low-traumatic, performed without skin incisions and does not require subsequent immobilisation (casting). Using a special instrument, pathological (fibrous) structures in the muscle-fascial segment are sectioned. As a result, the muscle becomes more elastic, its functionality improves and the volume of joint movements increases. The procedure is distinguished by its rapidity, therefore, the patient's time under anaesthesia is significantly reduced. An important advantage of the method is that there is no need for prolonged hospitalisation - the surgeries are performed in a ‘one-day hospital’ visits facilitating the patient's further rapid recovery at home.
