Übersetzung für "Ligament reconstruction" in Deutsch

In addition to exposure to repeat injury and individual risk-factor constellations, surgical technique is an important guarantor of success in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (36).

Similarly, 80% of amateur athletes return to sport following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (31).

The invention relates to a device for the patient-specific, individual anatomic placement of bore canals when attaching artificial ligaments on bones, in particular for use when placing bore canals on the thigh and lower leg during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

The anatomical positioning of the bore canals on the thigh and lower leg (femur and tibia) during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is of vital importance for the proper biomechanical post-operative function of the knee.

Holes are drilled on the thigh and lower leg during cruciate ligament reconstruction, for the secure anchorage of artificial cruciate ligaments.

The device according to the invention helps ensure the correct individual anatomical placement of the bore canals on the thigh and lower leg during cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Of the 13 studies included in the review, 6 showed significantly better knee function (Lysholm, KOOS, IKDC, Tegner, or kinematic parameters) following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (4, 7, 21, 22, 27, 29).

An Irish study which analysed 225 websites offering details on total hip and knee replacements and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction also failed to turn up much in the way of quality information.

According to meta-analyses and cohort studies, anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction can prevent secondary meniscal and cartilage injuries and restore previous activity levels (11 –13).

There together with his colleagues, he developed a novel hybrid implant for knee ligament reconstruction, which is the first prototype of ZuriMED devices.

In this case, the ligament is reconstructed or renatured by bringing the existing ligament bundles of a torn ligament close to one another so that the ligament bundle grows together again through the self-healing tendency.

The system 31, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, for a controlled stressing or loading of the anterior cruciate ligament ACL reconstructed, for example, by stitching, comprises a device 1 for implantation into a bone, at least one thread 11 as a replacement for the reconstructed anterior cruciate ligament ACL and a holding element 32 for the at least one thread 11, and is preferably applied during the healing phase of a ruptured and reconstructed ligament for its relief.

In this representative embodiment, the system 31, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, comprises the device 1 already described for implantation in a bone, preferably in the proximal end of a human tibia bone 44, providing at least one thread 11 as a functional replacement or, respectively, support for the reconstructed ligament or, respectively, the anterior cruciate ligament ACL of a human knee joint, and providing a holding element 32 that attaches the at least one thread 11 to a surface of a proximal bone of a joint, especially of a knee joint during the healing phase of the reconstructed ligament.

The ruptured anterior cruciate ligament ACL is reconstructed using appropriate means, wherein, during the subsequent healing phase, the reconstructed anterior cruciate ligament ACL may be stressed only very slightly so that the ruptured anterior cruciate ligament ACL grows together again in such a manner that it can subsequently fulfill its function completely.

This guarantees that the system 31, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, takes over the function of the reconstructed ligament or, respectively, the function of the reconstructed anterior cruciate ligament ACL during its healing phase.

Although there are well proven surgical reconstruction procedures for posterior cruciate ligament ruptures and other lesions of the posterior cruciate ligaments, the result of surgery has often deteriorated after a few months, or been lost altogether, because the sutured or reconstructed ligament has been stretched again in an undesired manner on account of the gravitational force of the lower leg which, with the patient lying on his back, acts in the dorsal direction.

The system 31 according to the invention for a controlled stressing or loading of the anterior cruciate ligament ACL reconstructed, for example, by stitching, comprises a device 1 for implantation into a bone, at least one thread 11 as a replacement for the reconstructed anterior cruciate ligament ACL and a holding element 32 for the at least one thread 11, and is preferably applied during the healing phase of a ruptured and reconstructed ligament for its relief.

The ruptured anterior cruciate ligament ACL is reconstructed using appropriate means, wherein, during the subsequent healing phase, the reconstructed anterior cruciate ligament ACL may be stressed only very slightly, so that the ruptured anterior cruciate ligament ACL grows together again in such a manner that it can subsequently fulfil its function completely.

This guarantees that the system 31 according to the invention takes over the function of the reconstructed ligament or respectively the function of the reconstructed anterior cruciate ligament ACL during its healing phase.

In this exemplary embodiment, the system 31 according to the invention comprises the device 1 already described for implantation in a bone, preferably in the proximal end of a human tibia bone 44, providing at least one thread 11 as a functional replacement or respectively support for the reconstructed ligament or respectively the anterior cruciate ligament ACL of a human knee joint and providing a holding element 32, which attaches the at least one thread 11 to a surface of a proximal bone of a joint, especially of a knee joint during the healing phase of the reconstructed ligament.
