Abstract

Significant progress has been achieved in knee ligament surgery over the past 30 years due to an improved quality of the ancillary material and a better knowledge of the pathophysiology of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Three distinct periods may be outlined in the evolution of ACL reconstruction over the years: while the 1980s were marked by the development of arthroscopy (1) and standardization of postoperative rehabilitation, the 1990s saw the development of graft fixation techniques and the introduction of resorbable implants. These years were also marked by discussions about the most appropriate graft for ligament reconstruction, i.e., patellar tendon, hamstring tendon, quadriceps tendon, or allograft.
