The purpose of this study was to report the experience of dynamic
intraligamentary stabilisation (DIS) using the Ligamys device for
the treatment of acute ruptures of the anterior cruciate ligament
(ACL). Between March 2011 and April 2012, 50 patients (34 men and 16
women) with an acute rupture of the ACL underwent primary repair
using this device. The mean age of the patients was 30 years (18
to 50). Patients were evaluated for laxity, stability, range of
movement (ROM), Tegner, Lysholm, International Knee Documentation Committee
(IKDC) and visual analogue scale (VAS) scores over a follow-up period
of two years.Aims
