Abstract
The results of ACL reconstruction using the Leeds-Keio ligament in 31 patients were reviewed. Two types of artificial ligament were used. Dacron was used in 2 patients and Leeds-Keio ligament was used in 31 patients. The age at the time of surgery ranged from 15 to 38 years (average, 25.6), and the length of follow-up ranged from 1 to 3 years (average, 1 year, 10 months) . Assessment by our scoring system suggested that this artificial ligament is effective for ACL reconstruction.
