[Testing the usefulness of a provisional polyester prosthesis for augmentation in reconstructive operations of knee...

Prosthesis from polyester fibres 5 mm wide with loose knitting finished on both ends with teflon handles for fixing bones with a wholly aphid screw made by Tricomed company in Lódź according to its own idea was the subject of the test. The tests were made on 7 piglets. The prosthesis together with an autogenic graft taken from the middle third of a patella ligaments was implanted into the place of the excised front sacral ligament. The implanted prosthesis was characterised with a high biocompatibility, satisfying mechanical resistance and easiness of fixing of the tested graft. We noticed clinically and pertaining to autopsy the possibility of removing the allogenic graft after achieving the full healing of the autogenic graft without the possibility of hurting that last one.
