Text C. PLASTICS FOR HEALTH

In 1966 a very interesting operation was performed by the surgeons of Moscow Traumatology Institute. The patient was an 18-year-old girl. She had the paralysis of the leg muscles. The patient was examined by the surgeons and then the operation was performed.

During the operation the muscles from her back and abdomen were transplanted to the thigh. These transplanted muscles were connected together by bundles of special plastic – lavsan.

It is not the first time that plastics were used to restore health. For example, lavsan bundles were also used if the patient had some defects in the spinal column. Special threads (нити) were introduced into the diseased part of the spine and the surgeons could examine the condition of the patient by X-rays.
