Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of a resorbable polymer implant (Soft Tissue Regeneration's L-C Ligament) for replacement and regeneration of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Approximately 15 patients at 2-3 different hospitals in Europe will participate in this study. The hypothesis of this study is that the L-C Ligament will successfully regenerate the ACL with clinical outcomes similar to or better than surgical intervention with auto graft tissue.

Conditions

  • Complete Tear, Knee, Anterior Cruciate Ligament

Interventions

DEVICE

L-C Ligament

The L-C Ligament is a bioresorbable, three-dimensional (3-D) braided scaffold made from poly L-lactic acid (PLLA) fiber. One device is used to replace the ACL. The L-C Ligament is an interventional device. The L-C Ligament is comprised of three regions: (1) The femoral tunnel attachment site, (2) The ligament region (intra-articular zone), and (3) The tibial tunnel attachment site. For several months after surgery, the L-C Ligament replaces the function of the ACL. During this time, ligament tissue regenerates within and around the L-C Ligament, which is slowly absorbed and replaced by the ACL.
