Ligament advanced reinforcementsystem anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

Abstract The problem of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficient knee and its reconstruction is far from being completely solved. In this article, I would like to discuss the use of a new generation synthetic ligament, the ligament advanced reinforcement system, which is made of polyester. A special knitted structure in the body of the ligament is used with open fibers in the central intra-articular portion of the ligament to allow substantial tissue ingrowth.
