Imaging tests revealed that he had an ACL tear and there was a need to conduct surgery.
In such cases, usually, only reconstruction is done. We make a tunnel in the thigh bone and leg bone and make a graft., However, in this case, we did both repair and reconstruction. That means, we have kept the native ligament intact and repaired it, said senior Orthopaedic surgeon Dr VS Abilash Kumar.
We took healthy ligaments from other places and gave support to the damaged ones," the surgeon said.
No medical journal has published a single article about this kind of method. This is one of its kind. We have to do more research on this method of repair and research, then give an article to the medical journals", Dr Abhilash added.
