Abstract
The authors describe a new repair procedure for recent ruptures of the anterior cruciate ligament, using a "barb wire" (metal wire a harpoon-shaped hook). In 8 out of 12 patients the ligament was found healed on re-opening the knee joint to remove the "suture" material. Improvements in material and technique should give even better results.
