title: [Studies on the intra-osseous fastening of alloplastic ligament substitutes in sheep using carbon fibers].
abstract: The alloplastic replacement of the medial collateral ligament of the knee of sheep by carbon fibers gave a strength comparable with the natural ligament. Coating of the fibers, e.g., with epoxy resin, leads to a reduced integration of the implant into the tissues. Physical and histologic results together with the intraosseus anchorage show that pure carbon fibers are a suitable material for alloplastic ligament replacement.
