Acceptance of a connective tissue equivalent for grafting and capsuloligamentary reconstruction.

A strip of a connective tissue equivalent prepared by using the patient's fibroblasts cultivated in vitro and calf skin collagen, was used for capsuloligamentary reconstruction of the knee. The study of the humoral and cell-mediated immune responses indicated that there was no cell-mediated immune reaction and only a transient humoral reaction 2 months after implantation. This first assay in human surgery gave a good functional result, and an immunological response was no longer observed 5 months after grafting.

[Stabilization of the external condyle of the knee in chronic anterior laxity. Importance of the popliteal muscle].

The authors have made an anatomical and experimental study in cadavers. They consider that one of the main features of chronic anterior instability of the knee is related to the instability of the lateral femoral condyle. This is due to the loss of its two stabilizers: the anterior cruciate ligament and the popliteal muscle. The signs of a lesion of the postero-lateral structures have to be looked for: antero-posterior drawer sign in extension, hypermobility of the tibia in lateral rotation and varus laxity. Such instability leads to arthrosis in the long-term. The proposed treatment is based on a reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament, using semitendinosus associated with a postero-lateral reconstruction using either the biceps or the fascia lata, or a free transplant from the patellar ligament. Corrective osteotomy of an associated varus deformity may be indicated.

[The treatment of genu recurvatum (author's transl)].

50 cases of genu recurvatum were classified into three types: osseous (malunion, epiphysiodesis), capsular and ligamentous (congenital hyper-extension, sequelae of old ligament rupture) and combination of the two types. The author's have analysed the results of 44 surgical procedures. The main procedure practised has been an opening wedge osteotomy of the upper end of the tibia above the level of the tibial tubercle with a graft to fill the gap. It is important to avoid distal displacement of the patella by detachment of the tibial tubercle and reattachment more proximally at the end of the surgical procedure. Osteotomy is always indicated but should be combined with a capsular repair or combined types. The results are satisfactory especially in cases due to premature closure of the growth plate.
