Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Cruciate ligament injury is the common sports injuries of the knee joint which can cause the knee pain and instability, often accompanied by the joint relaxation, meniscus injury and other symptoms.
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the features of knee joint artificial cruciate ligament and to assess the effect in the treatment of cruciate ligament injury.
METHODS: When the knee joint cruciate ligament ruptured, surgical methods were needed to be reconstructed the ligament function with biomaterials. Reconstructed with biomaterials could make the patients suffer less disabilities, and allow the patients to have knee activities immediately after treatment, which conducive to the rehabilitation of patients. Cruciate ligament graft materials included autologous ligament material, allogeneic ligament material and artificial ligament material.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The autologous material used for the reconstruction and repairing of knee joint cruciate ligament includes bone-patellar tendon-bone and semitendinosus. But, bone-patellar tendon- bone graft has more complications, and drawing the materials of semitendinosus and gracilis tendon will affect the function of the joint. The allogeneic ligament material includes bone-patellar tendon-bone and quadriceps tendon-bone, and the shortage of the allogeneic material is the incompletely killing of bacteria and viruses. The artificial ligament material includes the permanent ligament material, stent ligament material and framework ligament material, and Ligament Advanced Reinforcement System artificial ligament transplantation has more satisfactory efficacy in the treatment of cruciate
