Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the advantages and disadvantages of cruciate ligament reconstruction after exercise-induced knee injuries using various biomaterials, to provide theoretical basis for clinical application and selection of biomaterials for cruciate ligament reconstruction of exercise-induced knee injury.
METHODS: Articles addressing synthetic knee joint ligament were retrieved from VIP database with the key words of cruciate ligament of knee, exercise, ligament repair, ligament reconstruction, artificial synthetic material in Chinese between January 1987 and September 2010. Highly related articles and strongly pertinent articles were included, outdated and duplicated researches were excluded. Totally 16 literature were involved in final analysis.
RESULTS: The repair materials for the reconstruction of cruciate ligaments of the knee joint mainly include autograft, allograft and artificial ligament. These three materials have its advantages and disadvantages, and show their own scope in clinical application.
CONCLUSION: The cruciate ligament reconstruction of exercise-induced knee injuries is deemed to select the best material based on the individuality, age, injury mechanism and requirements after operation.
