title: [Resorbable augmentationplasty and functional after care in fresh rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament. An improved treatment concept].
abstract: The initial stability of a reconstruction of an acute rupture of the ACL may be improved by a biodegradable augmentation with polydioxanon. This technique provides sufficient stability for a functional aftertreatment in a knee brace. The functional results of ACL reconstruction may be improved by this concept.
