  • Title: [Allogeneic lyophilized fascia lata "soft" as extra-articular stabilizer in simple and complex knee joint instability].
    Author: Paul B, von Frankenberg E.
    Journal: Beitr Orthop Traumatol; 1990 Sep; 37(9):483-9. PubMed ID: 2248602.
    Abstract:
    50 operative procedures in capsular-ligamentous apparatus of knee joint were done from 1.9.1988 until 31.12.1989 among 209 in charged treated sports injuries. The multiplicity in pattern of injuries is the reason for individual procedure in reconstructive joint-surgery and because of this various indications for auto- and allogenic eg. synthetic materials, static and dynamic procedures else free or vascularized grafts. The lyophylized fascia lata "soft" is used in case of anteromedial instability, isolated medial rupture of collateral ligament of the first degree else for augmentation after primary treated medial injury of collateral ligament. Early results are proving the histocompatibility, the healing without complications else timely stability and recommending the fascia lata-plasty in given indications.
