wins US Patent. Known as the L-C ligament, it has been shown to completely regenerate ligament tissue inside the knee. Exciting development both for persons with torn ACLs and for UConn.
BTW, it's being trialed in Europe where a patient was implanted with the ligament in June. Dr. Arciero, the UConn orthopedist who performed surgery on Doty, Banks, Kalana, etc., was in attendance for the surgery in France.
