  • Title: [Barb wire repair of recent ruptures of the anterior cruciate ligament (author's transl)].
    Author: Goutallier D, Delepine G, Benazet JP.
    Journal: Nouv Presse Med; 1980 Nov 15; 9(43):3267-9. PubMed ID: 7005870.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe a new repair procedure for recent ruptures of the anterior cruciate ligament, using a "barb wire" (metal wire a harpoon-shaped hook). In 8 out of 12 patients the ligament was found healed on re-opening the knee joint to remove the "suture" material. Improvements in material and technique should give even better results.
