title: [Arthroscopic semitendinosus-plasty with lateral extra-articular stabilization in anterior knee joint instability].
abstract: Within the framework of a prospective study, 40 patients were examined postoperatively 12 months after their anterior cruciate ligament had been replaced by a doubled semitendinosus tendon arthroscopically combined with a lateral extra-articular procedure. "Second look" arthroscopy was possible in four cases. Evaluation was conducted according to the system of Müller and the Lysholm scoring system. According to the Müller system very good or good results were achieved in 97.5%; 95% of the patients achieved 91-100 points in the Lysholm scoring system. No substantial restrictions in the knee joint's range of movement were reported; there were also no other complications. The operative technique and the rehabilitation regimen are documented.
