Boy Receives Custom 3D-Printed Prosthesis After Traumatic Injury in Krasnogorsk

A young boy from Krasnogorsk has received a custom traction finger prosthesis after a traumatic injury. Gleb Brovar, who lost part of his hand in an explosion last November, was fitted with the device by Motorika ORTO. The moment marked an emotional milestone for his family as he took the first step toward recovery. The incident occurred on November 11, 2025, when an explosive device with the power of 10 grams of TNT detonated in Krasnogorsk. Gleb Brovar suffered severe injuries, leading authorities to open a criminal case under charges of attempted murder by a method dangerous to the public.

Motorika ORTO took charge of Gleb's rehabilitation, handling consultations, paperwork, and the entire prosthetics process. Using digital technology, they crafted a custom traction prosthesis through 3D scanning, computer modelling, and 3D printing. The production took roughly two weeks, with fitting and calibration completed in one to two days. In Russia, children like Gleb receive such prostheses free of charge through the Individual Rehabilitation and Habilitation Program (IRHP). The devices are periodically updated to match a child's growth. Now fitted with his new prosthesis, Gleb begins a period of adaptation and rehabilitation to regain function and confidence.

The prosthesis offers Gleb a chance to regain mobility and independence after his injury. His case highlights the role of advanced digital prosthetics in supporting children through recovery. Meanwhile, the criminal investigation into the explosion remains ongoing.
