Revision for Reconstruction of Anterior Cruciate Ligament with Synthetic Ligament

Abstract

We performed 3 revision cases following reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament with a Dacron prosthesis. One patient had only used a dacron prosthesis, while the other cases used both a dacron prosthesis and iliotibial band. All cases required revision due to reinfury whici occurred over a months after surgery. Revisions were very difficult a little and post-operatively one has instability and the other two have good stability and enjoy sports. We consider anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using one-third of patellar ingament a very useful procedure.
