Rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament which restrain hyperextension, excessive rotation and anterior motion of tibia on femur is the most frequent and significant injury of the knee.

From 1983 to 1985, modified Scott operation were performed on 10 patients at the department of orthopedic surgery, Chung Ang university hospital. Following results are obtained. 1.
