What is CLS Technique?
CLS stands for Comfortable Low Sitting / Crossed Leg Sitting. This technique was developed by Dr. Jigar Shah after advanced training at Singapore General Hospital (SGH).
The roughened articular surfaces are cut and ligaments are balanced properly. New metal surfaces are implanted with a poly-plastic in between working as a smooth gliding cushion. Minimum bones are cut and ligaments are balanced in such a way that full and free range of motion is achieved on the table in the operation theater itself.
"The root of the best end result is initiated in the theater only by the operating surgeon."
Because of this, postoperative recovery becomes very fast and patients get most of the total movements before going home. This reduces the period of physiotherapy required and they become able to sit cross-legged very soon.
