Resuming to sports activities must be progressive as soon as proprioception is satisfactory. Once again, the time varies according to the technique used and the joint being repaired.
SYNTHETIC (LARSŪ ligament)
New revolutionary structure with free fibers in
the intra articular surface;
Available for right and left knee with free fibers
mechanically twisted;
Extreme loading capacity without elongation;
Rapid ingrowth of fibroblast;
Absolute tissue tolerance;
Rapid recovery 6-8 weeks (no long period of immobilization
required);
No muscle atrophy;
No cases of reactive synovitis or of infection;
No risk of weakening the joint (since no anatomical
material is taken);
Replacing of a synthetic ligament is as easy as its
initial installment.
AUTOGENOUS (from patient)
Long period of immobilization required;
Muscular atrophy;
Long period of revascularization;
Limitation of graft in case of revision;
Long phase of therapy for a good rehabilitation;
Full sports are generally authorized after 6 months.
