When plasticizing the ligaments of the knee joint in order to form a single ring-shaped ligament from dacron tape, we sew its ends together, forming a closed system. This technique is used by us for simultaneous restoration of the cruciate and lateral ligaments of the knee joint. Access to the joint is carried out by an internal or external parapatellar incision. In the formation of the anterior cruciate and internal lateral ligaments (em. fig.) lavsan tape is carried out through channels in the outer condyle of the femur and the inner condyle of the tibia and its end is brought to the inner surface of the tibia. The other end of the tape is also brought to the inner surface of the thigh through the horizontal supracondylar canal in the femur. Then both ends of the tape are connected, stretched as much as possible and sewn together. Thus, an annular ligament is created, which evenly distributes the load on the dacron ribbon and the bone condyle channels.
