Restoration of Knee Joint Stability with Cruciate Ligament Implants

Abstract

At the Scientific Research Institute of Emergency Care named after N.V. Sklifosovskiy the modern cruciate ligament implants (France) have been successfully used since 1994. Physical mechanical and deformed characteristics of ligaments of human knee joint and synthetic prostheses of ligaments were tested by machine «Zwick-1464». New original endoprostheses of knee joint ligaments as well as instruments for optimization of the points of entrance and exit within condyles were elaborated. The methods for elimination of different types of knee joint instability in cruciate ligament injury using authors' endoprostheses were worked out. Authors proved that it could improve the functional results of treatment.

Analysis of Modern Treatment of Patients with Injuries of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament

“…Physical training that improve popliteal muscles and quadriceps of the femur can help faster return normal movement to the articulation accordring to Malygina M.A. [16]. Trained muscles can stabilize articulation genus themselves and that is very important during the injuries of anterior cruciate ligament.…”
