<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transplanted ligament applicable to a ligament reconstruction method capable of reducing a period of rehabilitation. <P>SOLUTION: The transplanted ligament 3 comprises a transplanted ligament main body 4 and a synovial fluid impermeable film 5 covering the main body 4. The synovial fluid opaque film 5 covers a part of the main body 4 coming in contact with the synovial fluid. For the transplanted ligament main body 4, a well-known artificial ligament or surrogate ligament is used. For the synovial fluid opaque film 5, a high-polymer film is used and a bioabsorbable film is especially preferable. In the case of high-polymer film, a method for covering is carried out only by winding it on the surface of the main body 4. The synovial fluid impermeable film 5 is also covered by applying high-polymer solution on the surface of the main body 4. For the high-polymer solution, bioabsorbable solution is preferable. When the surface of the main body 4 is covered with the film 5, the synovial fluid does not touch the main body 4. Thus, intrusion of a tissue into the main body 4 and engraftment can quickly be performed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
