Abstract:
The application of artificial ligament products in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgeries has gone through a long twisty way. In the 1970s, early artificial ligament products were initially used for ACL surgeries, which showed poor clinical efficacy and eventually ended up in failure. Over the last 20 years, there has been a growing number of ACL reconstruction with new artificial ligament products, including the Leeds-Keio TM, the LARS TM (Ligament Advanced Reinfocement System), and the Trevira Hochfest TM. Among these new products, the LARS TM has been more commonly applied for ACL surgeries. Although these new artificial ligament products have good mechanical properties and show significant improvement of cumulative failure and complication rate, they still have limitations.
