Reconstruction of the cruciate ligaments with allografts (clinical perspective and short-term results)
Abstract
There is a continuing search for the ideal substitute for the cruciate ligaments. Autogenous tissues have been widely used as replacement. The use of allografts is an attractive alternative: no donor side morbidity, decreased operative time smaller incisions especially with new endoscopic techniques, unlimited supply with a choice of graft sizes in multiple ligament recontructions and a long shelf life are some of the distinct advantages that allografts offer. They may be useful in cırcumstances where no suitable autologous substitute is availab for the consequent available tendon is too short to span the joint cavity. The preparation of an allograft requires appropriate donor selection and screening, careful surgical tissue procurement, and safe and effective processing techniques. Subclinical immun responce and the possibility of transmission of infectious agents have to be considered. The early results in the literature and in our small series are encouraging, however long term results are necassary prior to widespread use of allografts in cruciate ligaments reconstructions. The authors think that allografts should be reserved presently for use in special situations as an alternative to prosthetic ligaments where autograft is not available or appropriate.
