title: [Experience with the management of fresh cruciate ligament rupture in athletes].
abstract: Since 1984 we have done over the top repair of the acutely torn anterior cruciate ligament combined with augmentation by McIntosh lateral-substitution over the top procedure with iliotibial band in view of frequent instabilities following simple reconstruction. After treatment by continuous passive motion and early weight bearing is possible. The results at review were good. This method is recommended to avoid the risk of rerupture.
