[Use of the ilio-patellar band as an extra-articular amplifier in the knee joint].
We used a part of the ileopatellar band (IPB) as a complex of ITT in a control of a barrier of anterolateral rotatory instability (ALRI) in three patients with acute lesions of intercalary/collateral joint structures (ALRI). Ileopatellar band transfer was performed as amplification after primary reconstruction of the above mentioned structures. After two year period of observation we concluded that: a) the method was simple and applicable, b) it did not affect the functionality since only a part of the band was used, c) thus ITT could be favored, d) an earlier initial phase of movement was possible, and e) drift did not present a problem ... At the end of the treatment satisfactory stability was achieved and the patients returned to their daily activities.
