Ligament Reconstructions: From Biomaterials Towards Medical Devices
Ligament Reconstructions: From Biomaterials Towards Medical Devices
This medical reference examines ligament reconstruction with a focus on the anterior cruciate ligament, the most important ligament in the knee. It explains how a complete ACL tear can lead to instability or buckling of the knee and reviews the graft options available for reconstruction.
Graft choices covered include autografts such as patellar tendon, hamstring tendon, and quadriceps tendon, as well as allografts, also known as donor or cadaver tissue. Artificial ligaments are also discussed, reflecting their continued use in Europe and Asia.
The book summarizes the pros and cons of each graft option in detail, making it a resource for understanding the trade-offs involved in ligament reconstruction. This EPUB edition is the first edition of the third volume in the World Scientific Series: From Biomaterials Towards Medical Devices, published in 2021.
