title: [MRT of the status following augmentation plasty of the anterior cruciate ligament using carbon fibers].
abstract: In 19 patients treated with carbon-fiber ligament augmentation for the anterior cruciate ligament, the clinical findings were compared via MRI. Visualization of the intra- and extra-articular portion of the graft was possible in 84%. The integrity of the ligaments was be shown in an equal percentage. Thus, MRI is a useful diagnostic tool for non-invasive imaging for repeated follow-ups in patients with carbon-fiber ligament augmentation.
