The role of flexible carbon-fibre implants as tendon and ligament substitutes in clinical practice. A preliminary report

DH Jenkins and B McKibbin

The role of flexible carbon-fibre implants as substitutes for injured tendons and ligaments was investigated. These implants were simple to perform and were well tolerated by the patient. Repairs using carbon-fibres in 60 patients were successful, particularly in the almost insoluble problem of posterior cruciate laxity. The results in this report show that carbon-fibre implants have few disadvantages and have a future use in reconstructive procedures.
