title: The durability of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with the patellar tendon.
abstract: Thirty patients operated on because of insufficiency of the ACL were objectively evaluated twice, 2 and 5 years after operation. The results were mostly good with regard to knee stability and function. No change in the outcome could be seen over the years.
