• Research summary

  Medial ligament recontructions in the knee can now be carried out using artificial (LARS) ligaments but the medium and long term outcome of these are not known. This study will ask all patients under the care of Mr Andrew Williams who have had a medial knee ligament reconstruction with an LARS ligament to attend the clinic to have their knee x-rayed and examined and to answer a questionnaire. This will allow us to determine if the artificial ligament is working well or causing any problems.
