    Journal: Chirurg; 1986 Apr; 57(4):258-61. PubMed ID: 3519126.
    Abstract:
    From November 1983 to July 1985 a plastic reinforcement of the collateral medial ligament was performed in 14 patients. In all cases there was an additional reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament and a partial resection respectively refixation of the medial meniscus. In order to confirm the collateral ligament alloplastically in 6 cases a non-resorbable plastic connection (Gore-Tex patch), in 8 cases a resorbable plastic connection (PDS) was used. All the patients could be clinically reinvestigated on an average of 13 months after the operation. The results are presented.
