A road accident, a tragedy that instantly changes your life. This was the case for Elena, a 35-year old professional dancer, who fractured her tibial plateau following a motorcycle accident. Her normal life devoted to dancing soon turned into an endless ordeal which risked compromising a promising career and, above all, a continuous quest to reach physical perfection.
Indeed, the surgery to reconstruct the tibial plateau is really complicated and involves an osteocartilaginous functional unit which is extremely difficult to reset.
Today a surgery which in the past was considered difficult can be carried out using very sophisticated artificial tissues which are able to integrate into the damaged articular surfaces and reconstruct them completely.
The special structure promotes a double regenerative action, by simultaneously reconstructing the portion of the bone and of the cartilage.
Doctors persuaded Elena to undergo the surgery, which thanks to the new implant was a complete success, allowing her to take her first dance steps once the necessary rehabilitation was completed. Now Elena is dancing again, putting enthusiasm and determination in her training. She has resumed her life and restarted following her passion for dance and beauty.
