Areas of application

• ACL rupture: if the anterior cruciate ligament tears, this is known as an ACL rupture. In most cases, this requires surgical treatment. There are a number of different methods for this. Some surgeons prefer to replace the torn cruciate ligament with a piece of the patellar tendon (kneecap tendon), while others choose the semitendinosus (thigh) tendon.
• Severe collateral ligament instability with meniscus lesion: a meniscus lesion is a tear in one of the two discs of cartilage that connect the thigh with the tibia.
• Stabilisation following a fracture of the tibial head: the head of the tibia is the upper end of the shin bone
• Meniscus repair: reattachment of pieces of cartilage that have been torn out
