[ californication ] what do they think is their greatest achievement in life?
I'll let Akhila speak for herself on this occasion –
“The MPFL reconstruction was pioneered in ’92 using an allograft. The vast majority of surgeons since would choose an autograft, myself I preferred gracilis or semitendinosis, however the complication rate of either remains high. We sought to reduce operative and, recovery time together by imploring the use of modern synthetic grafts in the procedure. The procedure is minimally invasive. It results in less pain, weakness and complications meaning a faster rehabilitation. I would say that is most satisfactory.”

“That is perhaps a little biased, as I have my own interests in sports injuries. I have also aided in implementing the day-case lateral unicompartmental knee replacement. Which some would foolishly praise, but we stand far behind our fellows in the States who've been doing it since the 2000s.”
