|
treatment for the damage in the posterior eruciate ligament of knee are as controversial as they are diverse. The Trevira ligament is designed to be biologically more similar. Special ligament channel are made according to biomecahics and it is
given
appropriate tension as Where Contzen and others have been usinhg it successfully and have reported desirable results in a follow period of over five years.
The following are the results of follow-up period more than 12 months of the 25 cases to whom we have faithfully applied the treatment recommended by Contzen and others.
1. The age of patients were between 18 and 59. Four of them had an operation the anterior cruciate ligament and three on the collateral ligament.
2. During regular follow-ups after the operation, the Telos stress device was used to test the stability of the cruciate ligament of the knee. A deviation of 3 mm form the normal measurement was considered to be significant.
3. According to Clancy criteria, the results were Excellent in 9 cases (36%), Good in 13 cases (52%), Fair in 1 case (4%) and Failure in 2 cases (8%).
4. We found significant instability in 2 cases, which was due to rupture in the Tre vira ligament. One case showed limited range of motion of the knee.
