178 patients with various ligamental injuries were treated according to the technique elaborated at the Institute. To restore ligaments preserved tendon homografts from the long fibular tendon with a remained terminal bone fragment were employed. The techniques of Gay-Growth-Smith and Sitenko underlie the methods of tendinoplasty applied.
