For the treatment of knees with ACL injuries, we used a modified Marshall's method including reinforcement with a Kennedy LAD. By improving the postoperative physiotherapy regimen, we have also attempted to achieve safe and early rehabilitation. As a result, without sacrificing the function of the transplanted ligament, recovery of normal daily activities was achieved in 4 to 6 weeks after operation.<BR>However, the strength of the quadriceps did not sufficiently recover early after the operation. It was suggested that this might occur because the taking of a tendon from the knee extension mechanism impeded the recovery of the muscular power of the quadriceps.
