A new approach to arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery, known as “anatomical mapping,” has been successfully researched and applied by doctors using 3D positioning technology. This technique represents a new direction for knee ligament reconstruction surgery and reflects a trend towards personalized medicine.
Traditionally, anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery involves the doctor taking a graft from a muscle group at the back of the inner thigh and then relying on anatomical landmarks in the knee joint to determine the location of the tunnel to insert the graft for the reconstruction. However, accurately determining the correct location of the old attachment of the ligament is challenging, as each person may have a different shape and size of the attachment area.
The new anatomical mapping method using 3D positioning technology addresses these challenges by analyzing the parameters of the joint pillow on the healthy side and creating a mirror copy to create a blueprint for the damaged side. This allows doctors to determine all parameters of the anterior cruciate ligament and calculate the best location and graft size for reconstructing a new ligament tailored to the patient.
In addition to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery, this method can be applied to all other ligaments in
