We describe 44 patients who underwent reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament with a Leeds-Keio prosthesis supplemented by an extra-articular stabilization. They were assessed subjectively at 15 to 98 months postoperatively, using the Lysholm score and the knee rating score (Noyes et al.) by questionnaire or telephone interview. The results showed that 23 could be classified as excellent, 14 good, 4 fair, and 3 poor. There was not significant fall in the postoperative score between one to two years and three to four years, and more than five years after the replacement. In our opinion, the results of reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament with a Leeds-Keio prosthesis are almost satisfactory.
