    Author: Yerys P.
    Journal: Orthop Rev; 1987 Nov; 16(11):817-25. PubMed ID: 3503983.
    Abstract:
    A five-year follow-up of a reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament technique is presented. The study involved a total of 18 patients, all evaluated by Feagin's criteria to assess stability and function. Overall assessment showed 83.3% of patients perfect, or near perfect; and 11.1% of patients good. On subjective evaluation, 93.5% had good to excellent results. Objective evaluation showed 94.4% overall had good to excellent stability. The microsurgical technique is also presented. Eighteen patients, approximately 32.9 months postreconstruction, showed over 90% good to excellent results. Although the series is small, the results are encouraging.
