Abstract
An evaluation of 361 patients with documented anterior cruciate tears was carried out with analysis of mechanisms, symptomatology, physical findings, and limitations. At the time of injury, patients generally heard a loud pop and felt their knee slide apart with a subsequent hemarthrosis. Internal tribial rotation was described as the principal mechanism of injury in 81.6 of the patients. Less than 20 had a triad type injury. A crossover test enabled reproduction of the mechanism. On a 100 point scale, those with no repair scored a mean of 55.4, direct repairs 56.7, pes transfers 59.6, and modified MacIntosh 88.9 points. The natural course of a patient can often be projected. A continuing comparative study of results from treatment regimes and procedures is indicated. Verf.-Referat
