Manga Lakshmi continues to make good progress following a recent polio-corrective operation on her left leg. The operation was carried out by specialist Dr Gopalakrishnan at the Apollo Hospital in Chennai, formerly Madras.
As was the case with Pudi, Gosala, Usha, Parvathi and other before her, she underwent the manipulation of her leg by Iliazarov Ring Fixator Fixation. The resulting apparatus will gradually have the screws tightened until the leg is made to adapt to its correct natural position.
Please click here for more details.
As you can see here, Manga is now up and about and learning to walk properly for the first time.
See our main photo gallery for further pictures of Manga following her operation.
Note here though the Iliazarov Ring Fixator apparatus which is always a feature of Dr Gopalakrishnan's polio-corrective surgery in Chennai.
Manga is now up and about and looking forward to making further progress with her mobility.
