The ligament breaks most often in sport (football, skiing, basketball, etc …).
Unlike other ligaments, it does not repair itself, even with a cast.
This is the most important ligament of the knee since it connects the femur to the tibia by allowing these two bones to articulate with each other harmoniously.
SURGERY :
it will make it possible to remake a new anterior cruciate ligament. Apart from the opening of the skin necessary to take this or these tendons, all the rest of the operation takes place under arthroscopy and video control by a miniaturized camera.
This arthroscopy will allow at the same time to assess the interior of the knee (cartilage, meniscus, other ligaments) and treat any torn menisci. The new ligament will be fixed by special screws in absorbable product.
