The first "artificial muscle" implanted in polio patients with atrophy of lower extremities has recently been successfully announced at Beijing Luhe Hospital, which marks a new breakthrough in the implantation of lower limbs in our prosthesis.
The 45-year-old American man Pitt, suffering from polio from childhood, left a marked atrophy, short left leg. He came to the United States from Beijing to find the vice president of the hospital, Wang Jiangning, a well-known expert in plastic surgery and reconstruction surgery. Wang Jiangning contacted four cooperative units at home and abroad to borrow the "prosthesis implanted lower limbs thickening technique" he was studying, so that Pete's long-shrinking left leg became strong and powerful, and gradually restored the normal walking function.
"Artificial muscle" is a silicone-like substance, but unlike simple silicone for breast augmentation, the muscles in the legs are more complex, nerve-rich, and have more weight and tasks. Therefore, in order to prevent the displacement or sagging of the prosthesis after implantation, Wang Jiangning made detailed CT scan positioning for the patient's atrophic left leg, and then slowly inflated the dilator to the ideal volume by water injection, and supported the skin soft tissue. The dimensions are selected in a good position, and the internationally advanced "anchor" suspension technology is used to inject a three-dimensional "artificial muscle" into the patient to ensure that the sick leg is as full and real as the healthy leg.
A number of orthopedics and plastic surgeons from the Capital Medical University, the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, the Jishuitan Hospital, and the Union Hospital jointly reviewed the first “artificial muscle†implants for lower extremity thickening, arguing that this new medical technology is not congenital. Symmetric surgical correction proposes a new solution.
