In most cases, making a new cruciate ligament is recommended.
A patient’s own tendon is used, which is folded into a new cruciate ligament and fastened in the upper and lower leg through small bone tunnels.
This procedure is performed via keyhole surgery: in this way, not only the cruciate ligament but also the meniscus and the cartilage can be inspected and, if necessary, treated.
