A NMR tomographic follow-up assessment of the replacement plastic repair of the anterior cruciate ligament with an autologous ligamentum patellae transplant

Reconstruction of the anterior crucial ligament can be performed by using an autogenous transplant from the patellar ligament. Employing postoperative MR investigation, reaction of the non-vascularised tendon was studied. In 16 patients 20 knees were investigated by applying a 1.5 tesla magnet with...

Zusammenfassung:	Reconstruction of the anterior crucial ligament can be performed by using an autogenous transplant from the patellar ligament. Employing postoperative MR investigation, reaction of the non-vascularised tendon was studied. In 16 patients 20 knees were investigated by applying a 1.5 tesla magnet with T1-weighted (TR 500 ms, TE 15 ms) and a T2*-weighted (FISP 3D: TR 30 ms, TE 10 ms, flip angle 40 degrees). Postoperative MR follow-up showed an increase in signal intensity and diameter in T1-weighted images. This represents revascularisation of the transplant.
