[Combined plastic surgery of the anterior cruciate ligament with pedicled periosteal flap and cutis strip].

In view of the increasing incidence of injuries to the knee ligament and the persisting problems associated with the substitution of the cruciate ligament, a new combined reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament is presented which is performed with a pedicle periosteous flap and a cutaneous stripe. The advantages of the technically simple method using mechanically and biologically valuable substitutes are discussed.
