title: [Treatment of anterior instability of the knee joint with particular regard to free grafts of the specific patellar ligament].
abstract: 48 patients with injuries of the anterior crucial ligament of the knee joint have been operated on. 27 patients were included the in control in the remote observation (1-3 years). In the evaluation of the results the following things were taken into consideration: feeling of stability of the knee, rest and exercise pains or lack of them, the degree of limitation of the function, lack of ability to practice sport, and the degree of improvement of the topical state in comparison with the period before the operation. As it can be seen from the obtained clinical results and the subjective evaluation the patients bore small residual anterior instability relatively well but they felt the same failure of the collateral ligament.
