Synthetic ligaments

Abstract

In an attempt to improve the results after autogenous anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, and to overcome the difficulties encountered after failed cases, Orthopaedic surgeons have been searching for new alternatives. Thus syhthetic ligaments and allografts evolved. These new alternatives were previously alIuded to by the author. In the present review, technical aspects of prosthetic reconstruction are discussed and new synthetic materials are added. These devices are very technique sensitive. In contrast to biological substitutes, technical errors are not tolerated by these devices. It should be noted that the same technical principles are valid for an ideal autogenous reconstruction. It is vital that the Orthopaedic surgeon dealing with prosthetic reconstruction has all the necessary instruments. Synthetic Iigaments Iike allografts, are still in the experimental stage, and their indications are Iimited. After informing the patient in detail about all types of reconstructions, prosthetic devices can be used if (s)he prefers them.
