LIGAMENTS RECONSTRUCTION WITH A PERONEUS LONGUS TENDON AUTOGRAFT IN INSTABLE KNEE

Abstract

Purpose: to improve the outcomes of instability treatment by ligaments reconstruction with a peroneus longus tendon autograft. All the patients (n = 88) before the procedures had chronic knee ligament injures. All the patients were treated with a peroneus longus tendon autograft reconstruction. The method of simultaneous reconstruction of anterior cruciate and lateral ligaments with a peroneus longus tendon autograft was described. The method of reconstruction of antero-lateral stability of knee joint we mean is simple and effective, because the tendon autograft is long and strong, and peroneus longus tendon is located out of knee joint proection. In such case the procedure doesn’t weaken knee joint ligaments and capsule.
