On September 15, 2015, Denis Afanasyev, finished his International Fellowship program of Wellton
Hospital
Dr. Denis Afanasyev came to Wellton Hospital from Moscow,
Russia as a part of Wellton International Fellowship Program (WIFP) in August
18, 2015. He spent
last 1 month in Korea and participated in various meetings and conferences with
other surgeons and observed Orthopedic cases, outpatient consultation, daily
rounds and rehabilitation programs at Wellton Hospital. He was impressed
with the most advanced surgical techniques and rehabilitation program for hip
replacement & knee replacement.
I want to express my deepest gratitude and sincere thanks to Dr. Song, and
to all staff of the Wellton Hospital for the opportunity of International
Arthroplasty Study. The technique of arthroplasty of hip joint and knee joint
is perfected. In my practice course, for the first-time I have seen minimally
invasive posterior approach for hip joint replacement. The advantages of this approach
are indisputable. It is less blood loss during surgery, decreased pain, the
ability to walk with a support on the operated joint the day after surgery.
I’m very interested in Dr. Song’s minimal invasive arthroplasty technique
of knee joint. Awesome excellent knowledge of the biomechanics motion of the
knee joint of the doctor, allows correctly orient the components of the
endoprosthesis. The result is the maximum range of movement on the next day
after surgery with minimal pain. In the training course by Dr. Song I got the
answers to the question of how to get the maximum amount of knee flexion, and
to avoid the effect of extrusion liner to the front as a result of the
increased load on the posterior part.
Deserves respect a clear coordination of work of the team of Dr. Song,
from the operating sisters and ending with marketing department.
I hope that many of the positive things which I have seen in Wellton
Hospital will help me to improve work of my clinic in Russia in the future.
I understand that Dr. Song has done a very difficult and long way to achieve
such a high level of joint replacement surgery. Many thanks to Dr. Song for sharing
with me his invaluable knowledge and skills!
