Scientist Discover a New Part Of The Human Body

Wonders shall never end. Do you know that there exist a part of your body that was hitherto unknown to science.

Yes, there is its called the ANTEROLATERAL LIGAMENT (ALL) located in the knee region.

ALL was discovered by two surgeons from Belgium at the University Hospital. Leuven- Dr. Steven Claes and Professor Dr. Johan Bellemans who have spent four years trying to solve a modern medical mystery.

What was the mystery?

The whole of medical world were confused treating ACL issues. In certain cases, patients who have had their ACL repaired still experience"pivot shifts"in their knee, where the joint"gives way"during physical activity.

According to our ScienceDaily reporters, This mystery spurred the two physicians to work. In order to find their answer, the scientists turned to the past. In an 1879 article, a French surgeon theorized that there may exist an extra ligament in the anterior of the human knee. Using macroscopic dissection techniques on a wide range of cadavers, the Belgian duo confirmed this hypothesis. According to their findings, 97 percent of humans have something called an anterolateral ligament (ALL) in addition to their ACL, and pivot shifts stem from an injury to this previously unknown body part.
This discovery could mean a breakthrough in treating ACL injuries, which are common in sports like basketball, football, and soccer, where pivoting is common — but don't hold your breath for a better fix. Claes and Bellemans are hard at work figuring out surgical to techniques to repair the ALL, butScience Dailycautions that those results will only be ready in"several years."

Congrats our dear Doctors for a job well done!!!
