The method of surgical treatment for fresh rupture of the anterior criciate ligament is presented. Surgical interventions have been performed in 148 patients (95 patients have been operated within the first week after injury, 36 - within the second week and 17 patients - during 3rd-4th week). In 109 patients, ligament reconstruction has been carried out using tractopexy and in 17 patients augmentation of the ligament by semitendinous muscle or central segment of the patellar ligament has been used. The choise of suture technique depended on the type of ligament injury. Tie long-term results have been studied in 104 patients.
