With marathon ligament reconstruction, although the other normal limb will have a higher pain index after operation, the healthy limb can be preserved through postoperative analgesia.

Dislocation of knee joint is an uncommon bone trauma. Because knee joint is a very strong joint in human body, it is conceivable that it must be a high-energy trauma if it is dislocated by external force. Mr. Zheng, a 24-year-old, suffered from a serious car accident, resulting in dislocation of the open knee joint with rupture of the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments and medial and lateral collateral ligaments. However, he needed a quick and accurate one-stage ipsilateral ligament reconstruction operation, so that he could start rehabilitation and gradually recover within one month.

Severe trauma with multiple ligament ruptures usually requires staged surgery for reconstruction.

Dr. Fang Qirong from the Department of Orthopaedics, Annan Hospital said that in general, patients with such severe trauma with multiple ligament ruptures like Mr. Zheng usually need to take out the tendon of the other foot, or patients need to buy ligaments at their own expense for reconstruction, plus staged surgery for ligament reconstruction, rather than one operation like Mr. Zheng's, which will make a great difference between patients' physical strength and prognosis.

ipsilateral ligament reconstruction needs a strong professional trauma medical team

Dr. Fang Qirong further explained that to achieve such rapid and accurate treatment in one-stage ipsilateral ligament reconstruction surgery, the premise is that the hospital must have a strong trauma treatment team, which can quickly determine the severity of trauma and comprehensively evaluate the situation of major organs, and immediately carry out whole-body computed tomography combined with angiography, because there is a high risk of nerve and blood vessels being damaged and even amputation.

Marathon ligament reconstruction can keep the healthy limb

It can keep one leg intact without affecting the function of the other leg, so that patients can carry out early rehabilitation more quickly and effectively. Dr. Fang Qirong pointed out that Mr. Zheng's operation was carried out by a one-stage marathon ligament reconstruction. Although the other normal limb will have a higher pain index after operation, he can keep the healthy limb through postoperative analgesia. At present, Mr. Zheng has gradually returned to normal life. Join us and pay attention to your health every day!
