The severed cranial cruciate ligament of Beagles was replaced with a carbon fibre tow. Post-operatively the animals were evaluated clinically and radiographically. The animals were sacrificed and specimens collected for histology. There was marked infiltration of the implant by granulation tissue which matured into longitudinally orientated collagen fibres to form a new ligament. A foreign body reaction which occurred at about 12 weeks subsided after a few more weeks. Fracture of the implant was present in a high percentage of knees. The advantages and disadvantages are discussed and technical errors identified.
用碳纤维束替换了比格犬断裂的颅交叉韧带。术后对动物进行临床和影像学评估。处死动物并收集标本进行组织学检查。植入物有明显的肉芽组织浸润，肉芽组织成熟为纵向排列的胶原纤维，形成新的韧带。约12周时出现的异物反应在再过几周后消退。植入物骨折在很高比例的膝关节中出现。讨论了优缺点并确定了技术失误。
