Abstract

In acute cruciate ligament injuries the technique of arthroscopic fixation of the ligaments is suggested. The technique consists of the sewing of the injured cruciate ligament to the uninjuired one. The indication to operative treatment is the full or partial tears of ACL or PCL from the femoral attachment site. In experimental cadaveric knee study the stabilizing effect of this operative technique is proven. Three patients were operated on and good results were achieved.
