Private hospital in Chennai uses synthetic ligaments for knee surgery on 23-year-old
The HinduA private hospital in Chennai used synthetic ligaments for knee surgery, a procedure that came to India from the United Kingdom about two years ago, on a young patient recently. The surgery, performed by Prakash Ayyadurai, senior consultant, arthroscopy & sports medicine, and his team, involved reconstructing two crucial or ‘cruciform’ knee ligaments, the anterior cruciate ligament and the posterior cruciate ligament, both connecting the thighbone to the shinbone. Klaudiusz Kosowski from MedPolonia Private Hospital in Poland said that these synthetic ligaments were made of strong polyethylene and are comparable to natural ligaments in strength and durability. Ilankumaran Kaliamoorthy, CEO of Rela Hospital, noted that the benefits of synthetic ligaments overcame the limitations of traditional methods.
