Reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament by allogeneic tendon graft. An operation for chronic ligamentous insufficiency

K Shino, T Kimura, H Hirose, M Inoue, and K Ono

We describe the use of allogeneic human tendon as an intra-articular replacement for the anterior cruciate ligament. Depending on the type and degree of functional instability we recommend the addition, in some cases, of supplementary extra-articular procedures. We have reviewed 31 patients at least two years after operation and have found that 30 of them had been able to return to full sporting activities. The indications for operation and the techniques are discussed and the use of allogeneic tendon is recommended.
