From January 1981 to September 1983 forty knees had replacement of a torn anterior cruciate ligament with a tendon xenograft. In six of the first thirty knees that were operated on severe synovitis developed within eight months after the operation, and total synovectomy and removal of the graft was required. Because of this complication we changed the recommended rinsing procedure for the graft in the last ten knees, and no synovitis occurred in these. Approximately half of all of the grafts ruptured between twelve and twenty months after the operation.
1981年1月至1983年9月期间，40例膝关节采用异体肌腱移植替换撕裂的前交叉韧带。在最初接受手术的30例膝关节中，有6例在术后8个月内出现严重滑膜炎，需要进行全滑膜切除术并取出移植物。由于这一并发症，我们在最后10例膝关节手术中改变了推荐的移植物冲洗程序，这10例未出现滑膜炎。大约一半的移植物在术后12至20个月之间发生破裂。
