The Clinical Application and Evaluation of Artificial Cruciate Ligament Materials for Knee Exercise Injury

Rupture of knee joint cruciate ligament in sports training and competition, need through the surgical method to reconstruction of ligament reconstruction function. Application of biological materials for cruciate ligament, can make patients get less disease waste, and allows the patient knee joint activities immediately after treatment, is beneficial to the rehabilitation of patients. Cruciate ligament graft materials including autograft, allograft ligament ligament and artificial ligament. Autologous tissue reconstruction of knee joint cruciate ligament with bone patellar tendon bone and semitendinosus graft, many complications of bone patellar tendon bone graft, semitendinosus and gracilis tendon transplant will affect the joint function. Allogenic ligament materials mainly include bone patellar tendon bone and four femoral head allograft tendon bone, shortage of material is not completely kill bacteria and viruses. Artificial ligament material divided into permanent ligament, ligament and ligament scaffold material framework material, the effect of LARS artificial ligament transplantation in the treatment of cruciate ligament injury is more ideal, compared with the efficacy of autologous tendon graft, the differences were significant, had no significant differences compared with the long term effect of transplantation of autologous ligament.

Tensile Strength Comparison of Dowel Plug Technique to Standard Techniques of Tendon-Bone Attachment

Since tendon transplantation relies on successful fixation of the tendon transplant, a quantitative comparison of various methods of tendon attachment to bone was investigated in mongrel dogs. The methods included attaching tendon to periosteum, suturing a tendon to itself after passing through bone, stapling, and wedging a dowel plug into a hole with the tendon. Tests to failure were conducted at 0, 10, 28, and 63 days of healing. The dowel plug technique provided strong immediate fixation. After 63 days the staple, the tendon passed through bone, and the dowel plug techniques showed significant increases in strength. On tendons of similar size, the dowel plug method showed the greatest tensile strength when compared to the staple fixation. This method was a simple, reproducible technique.
