[Capsular ligament surgery of the knee joint with resorbable materials. 5-year clinical experience with Vicryl and PDS ligaments].
Current methods of capsular ligament surgery of the knee joint are not sufficient stable. Tensions of unloaded movements of the knee joint are appropriate to destruct again the reconstructed capsular ligament mechanism. Immobilisation is required. Additional capsular ligament plastics produced out of absorbable materials (Polyglactin, Polydioxanon) protect safely the reconstructed capsular ligaments from destruction. Early functional treatment is practicable. The ligament plastics seem to stimulate the nature of origin of ligament-similar tissue. The plastic ligaments will be broken down to natural substances byx hydrolysis. An additional surgical excision is not required. Ligament plastics out of Vicryl are recommended.
