title: [A new drill guide for plastic repair of the anterior cruciate ligament by a free ligamenteous graft (author's transl)].
abstract: A report of the most widely used grafts for the replacement of the anterior cruciate ligament shows the difficulties of plastic repair. The author recommends the patella ligament used by Brückner but, because of the relative shortness of this ligament, not as a distally based ligamenteous graft but as a free one. The exact topography of the anterior cruciate ligament is given. A new drill guide for repair of this ligament is described and the technique of implantation by making use of that drill guide is explained.
