  • Title: [Knee-ligaments--operation and functional postoperative care (author's transl)].
    Author: Helbing G, Burri C.
    Journal: Zentralbl Chir; 1977; 102(13):787-93. PubMed ID: 888588.
    Abstract:
    After surgical repair of ruptured knee-ligaments the patients have a functional treatment with the help of a limited-mobilization cast (LMC). Flexion from 20 to 60 degrees exerts no tension on the knee-ligaments. Damage to the cartilage by immobilisation can be prevented, the frequency of post-traumatic arthrosis reduced.
