title: [Chronic knee instability--arthroscopic analysis].
abstract: Knees in 150 patients with the old disruption of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and a certain degree of anterolateral rotational instability have been arthroscopically analyzed. The complete old disruption of ACL has been found in 130 (86.6%) patients, and a partial one in 20 (13.4%) patients. The degenerative changes of the inner femoral condylus have been present in 79 (52.6%) and of lateral femoral condylus in 14 (9.3%) patients. In 35 (23.3%) patients there has been the simultaneous disruption of both menisci. The isolated disruption of medial meniscus has been found in 44 (29.3%), and of the lateral one in 43 (28%) patients. The knee with disruption of meniscus has been found in 122 (81.3%) patients.
