  • Title: [Arthroscopic technique for replacing the anterior cruciate ligament using a free patellar tendon transplant].
    Author: Passler JM, Fellinger M, Seggl W, Schweighofer F.
    Journal: Unfallchirurg; 1992 Sep; 95(9):463-8. PubMed ID: 1411613.
    Abstract:
    The replacement of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) by a free patellar tendon graft is a well-known procedure. The disadvantage is that the necessary arthrotomy destroys the nerve supply of the joint capsule. Therefore, we developed a procedure of ACL replacement that can be done by arthroscopy without opening the joint except for a small incision needed for the arthroscopy and working canal. The surgical technique is described.
