Posterior cruciate ligament and multi-ligament reconstruction using LARS ligament – Orthopaedics proceedings – British Editorial Society of Bone & Joint Surgery – 2011
Purpose : We conducted a prospective study to investigate the role of the LARS ligament system to reconstruct the posterior cruciate ligament and the postero-lateral corner of the knee.
Isometric reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament femoral and tibial tunnel placement (J.P. Laboureau – 2016)
Study of ACL reconstruction failures shows that half of them are due to technical faults . This is true for all types of transplants and specially for those involving synthetic materials, which are less tolerant than autogenous tissues .
As a whole the ACL is not isometric. It is globally taut in extension and relaxed for a 90° knee flexion . However, some transitional fibers are close to isometry as it has been shown by many authors(Daniel- Abbink-Bradley).
