Abstract

A prospective case control study was made by comparing the results of a modified combination parapatellar tendon transposition repair of a fresh anterior cruciate ligament rupture with those of the conventional Palmer technique. The mean follow-up time was 4 (3-7) years. A tendency to better stability was shown by an objective clinical device. Subjective results concerning stability sensations of the knee were also better than those obtained by the conventional method.
