Synthetic ACL grafts are more important than clinical nonbelievers may realize – The journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery – Vol 31, No 5, p; 969-970 – by the Arthroscopy Association of North America – 2015

Abstract: Artificial ACL grafts are structural ties, designed to resist tension, but not designed to undergo biologic ligamentization by the host. Strategically, an artificial ACL graft may be used as reinforcement to augment ACL repair, ACL autograft, ACL allograft, or tissue-engineered ACL. Most artificial ACL grafts have had poor reported outcomes. However, the Ligament Augmentation and Reconstruction System (LARS) artificial ACL graft shows positive clinical outcomes.

Sternoclavicular joint reconstruction for instability using LARS ligament : report of surgical technique and early outcomes – Orthopaedics proceedings – British Editorial Society of Bone & Joint Surgery – 2013

Traumatic injuries to the sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) are uncommon representing only 3% of all
injuries to the shoulder girdle. Acutely, the majority are managed non-operatively with physiotherapy rehabilitation. We report a new technique using a LARS® ligament (Ligament Augmentation and Reconstruction System) with good early post-operative results.

CRANIAL CRUCIATE LIGAMENT INJURIES IN DOGS AND CATS – INTRA ARTICULAR RECONSTRUCTION WITH UHMWPE MEDICAL GRADE FREE FIBERS SYNTHETIC IMPLANT – RESULTS

The CrCL intra artiular reconstruction with the Z-lig implant gave good to excellent results in 97% of cases.
The method restores stability of the stifle and does not create any irreversible situation in case of complication. Only bony tunnels are drilled. The fast recovery and the easy post-operative period are the two major advantages for the owners.
