title: [Results of surgical treatment of lesions to the capsule and ligaments of the knee joint (author's transl)].
abstract: Between 1971 and 1979 60 patients with fresh lesions of the knee joint ligaments were treated surgically in Giessen. 37 of these patients could be followed-up two years after the accident. Seven patients from 1979 were excluded due to the shortness of time. A scheme of evaluation with different criteria was established. In 17 patients -- almost 50% -- a good, in another 17 a satisfying result was achieved. In three cases, whose injuries and complications are described in detail, the outcome was poor.
