ABSTRACT
In the years 1977 to 1984, 56 patients underwent primary suture of acutely ruptured cruciate ligaments. Thirty-six (64.3 per cent) were regarded as excellent or good results and 20 (35.7 per cent) were regarded as fair or poor results. It is concluded that this is a satisfactory method of treatment and that this will reduce the number needing a late reconstructive operation.
