[Arthroscopic tightening of the anterior cruciate ligament].

We present here the preliminary results obtained with arthroscopic tightening of the anterior cruciate ligament. Six patients underwent the technique. Four had had prior ligamentoplasty, two had sequelae of tibial spine fractures.

[Influence of patellar height on patellar tendon donor site closing after harvesting a bone-tendon-bone graft for ligamentoplasty].

Purpose Of The Study: Ligamentoplasty using an autologous transplant provides an effective and long-lasting solution for anterior instability of the knee. The most widely used transplant is the mid third of the patellar tendon. The short- and long-term stability has been proven, but there are reports of morbidity at the donor site affecting the extensor system.
