PHYSICIANS
Anaplastologists offer prosthetics and medical devices for a wide range of conditions, collaborating with physicians and surgeons to improve patient outcomes. Here’s a list of conditions treated by these devices:
Cancer Reconstruction:
Anaplastologists provide prostheses for patients who have undergone cancer-related surgeries, such as breast reconstruction after mastectomy, facial reconstruction following tumor removal, or limb loss due to sarcomas.
Traumatic Injuries:
Custom prostheses are used to restore form and function for patients who have experienced traumatic injuries, including facial trauma, limb amputations, and hand injuries.
Congenital Anomalies:
Anaplastologists help individuals with congenital anomalies like microtia (missing or underdeveloped ears), cleft lip and palate, and limb differences by crafting custom devices to improve appearance and function.
Burn Injuries:
Patients who have suffered severe burns often require specialized facial or body prostheses to restore their appearance and confidence.
Maxillofacial Differences:
Prosthetic solutions are provided for patients with maxillofacial differences resulting from surgeries, trauma, or congenital conditions, including those affecting the jaw, palate, and nasal structures.
Ocular Conditions:
Artificial eyes (ocular prostheses) are created for patients with conditions such as anophthalmia (absence of one or both eyes), microphthalmia (underdeveloped eyes), or severe eye injuries.
Amputations:
Prosthetic limbs and digits are designed for individuals who have lost hands, fingers, arms, legs, or toes due to amputations from various causes, including vascular disease and accidents.
Craniofacial Syndromes:
Patients with craniofacial syndromes may require customized prostheses to address facial and cranial differences,, improving both aesthetics and function.
Reconstructive Surgery Enhancement:
Customized anatomical models and surgical guides are used to assist surgeons in planning and executing complex reconstructive procedures, including orthognathic surgery, craniomaxillofacial surgery, and plastic surgery.
