According to statistics, about 1 percent of the population suffers from spinal deformities (scoliosis). In the early stages of the disease can be treated with conservative treatment: massage, swimming, therapeutic gymnastics, correction with special corsets. But every tenth patient with scoliosis of 3-4 degrees needs surgical treatment.
And here’s the thing: if these people do not receive surgical treatment, they become hunchbacked, with a disability, they just die for various reasons, one way or another related to the underlying disease. 90-95 percent of them are girls. No one still knows why. But it is so.
The Ufond.Hrebet program started at the end of 2010. Our permanent partner is the Institute of Spine and Joint Pathology named after Professor MI Sitenko. Sitenko Institute - one of the oldest orthopedic institutions in Ukraine - was founded in 1907. Specialists of the Institute have accumulated many years of experience in the treatment of deformities and diseases of the spine in children. In 2019, we began cooperation with the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of NUMK "University Clinic" of Kharkiv National Medical University.
