“…Cotton y Morrison (73) , así como, en 1936, los hermanos David y Bordman Bosworth (74) , en Nueva York, seguían manteniendo la idea de que la reconstrucción del LLI, con tiras de fascia lata, transformaba una rodilla deficiente por la rotura del LCA en una rodilla estable, aunque Kennedy y Fowler (75) demostraron que el LCA puede estar lesionado sin que se afecten las estructuras capsulares internas. De hecho, en España, Moragas et al (76) , en 1956, siguiendo las recomendaciones de las publicaciones internacionales, intervenían las rodillas traumáticas de los futbolistas; aunque resulta llamativo que, en su revisión de 26 casos, 21 correspondían a roturas del LLI y tan solo 4 a roturas del LCA.…”

RESUMEN La reconstrucción del ligamento cruzado anterior es hoy una de las cirugías más frecuentes en el mundo. Sin embargo, ha supuesto un reto para los cirujanos desde principios del siglo XX y todavía quedan aspectos técnicos y biomecánicos controvertidos. La artroscopia ha facilitado mucho la recuperación de los pacientes y los resultados de larga evolución. Muchos autores han participado en su desarrollo, aunque algunos han quedado en el olvido. Conocer los pasos y las opciones de las diferentes escuelas nos puede ayudar a comprender mejor lo que se hace hoy, preparar nuevos retos para el futuro y saber que se sigue escribiendo la historia.

“…First reports by Lange on the implantation of a silk ligament in the knee joint date back to 1903 [43], but proved to be of no use only 3 years after surgery. In the following decades the implantation of artificial materials was sporadically reported, mostly using silk [44]. The development of plastic materials opened a new area in the 1960s.…”

Surface pretreatments for medical application of adhesion

et al. 2003

Medical implants and prostheses (artificial hips, tendono- and ligament plasties) usually are multi-component systems that may be machined from one of three material classes: metals, plastics and ceramics. Typically, the body-sided bonding element is bone.The purpose of this contribution is to describe developments carried out to optimize the techniques , connecting prosthesis to bone, to be joined by an adhesive bone cement at their interface. Although bonding of organic polymers to inorganic or organic surfaces and to bone has a long history, there remains a serious obstacle in realizing long-term high-bonding strengths in the in vivo body environment of ever present high humidity.Therefore, different pretreatments, individually adapted to the actual combination of materials, are needed to assure long term adhesive strength and stability against hydrolysis. This pretreatment for metal alloys may be silica layering; for PE-plastics, a specific plasma activation; and for bone, amphiphilic layering systems such that the hydrophilic properties of bone become better adapted to the hydrophobic properties of the bone cement. Amphiphilic layering systems are related to those developed in dentistry for dentine bonding.Specific pretreatment can significantly increase bond strengths, particularly after long term immersion in water under conditions similar to those in the human body. The bond strength between bone and plastic for example can be increased by a factor approaching 50 (pealing work increasing from 30 N/m to 1500 N/m).This review article summarizes the multi-disciplined subject of adhesion and adhesives, considering the technology involved in the formation and mechanical performance of adhesives joints inside the human body.

“…In 1926 Bennett [5] described an extra-articular procedure on the medial side of the joint in which the medial ligament was tightened and reinforced with a free strip of fascia woven along the medial joint line. A similar procedure was employed by Cotton and Morrison [14] and by Bosworth and Bosworth [9]. Mauck [47] also believed that reinforcing the medial collateral ligament would compensate for anterior cruciate deficiency.…”
