ACL

semalam join Dr. orthopedic surgeon.
ACL repair.. male patient. tore his ACL and his meniscus masa duk main some kinda sports.
stood in the OT for 2++hrs.. didnt even get to see the surgeon finish the ACL repair pun.. nurse said this surgery will finish in another 2hours. maka, aku mem-blahkan diri....
@_@

ok here are the pics. sorry kalau bloody sangat!

the orthopedic surgeon is taking out the semitendonosis punya tendon to replace the torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament)

tendons from gracilis muscle, and right and left semitendonosus.

removing the muscles from the tendons.

siap!

so after that, the doc just sew on the harvested tendon at the part where the ACL is torn.
pengajaran? jangan main sports ganas sgt sebab ACL itu tak kuat mane pun.....
