Abstract

Four types of prosthetic replacement for the anterior cruciate ligament (carbon fibre, carbon fibre and Dacron composite, Dacron alone and bovine xenograft) were assessed at three, six and 12 months after implantation in the knees of New Zealand white rabbits. The synovium and both intra-articular and intra-osseous portions of the ligaments were examined macroscopically, by light microscopy and by scanning electron microscopy. All the knees showed mild synovitis, and there was no significant growth into the intra-articular part of any ligament. Carbon fibre and xenograft did not appear to be suitable materials in this animal model. The composite ligament showed short-term ingrowth of fibrous tissue only into the periphery of the sheath in its intra-osseous portion, whereas the Dacron ligament showed progressive fibrous tissue ingrowth with some bony incorporation of its outer fibres.
