A member asked:
Can your own tissue grow into a lars ligament acl reconstruction?? how does a lars ligament work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Great question. Mayb: Maybe . In theory the LARS ligament acts like a structural scaffold for remanants of your ACL tear that are vascularized. Early studies are promising but much more is needed to understand success rates. Maybe the graft and Lars could be seeded with stem cells and PRP to promote intergrowth and improve stability.
