Popis: The aim of this paper was to examine all studies that compared operative and conservative treatment of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture. Covering a period of 22 years all relevant articles were retrieved from the medical databases Medline, Embase, and Cochrane. The results of these studies were judged on to the criteria of subjective stability (giving-way phenomenon), objective stability (pivot shift test), and return to the preinjury level of sports. There were 11 different studies published in 16 articles consisting of 2 randomized,2 prospective, and 7 retrospective trials. Except in one study the results in the operative groups were always better than in the conservative groups. The meta-analysis of both randomized studies showed significant advantages for the operative treatment. Although arthroscopic ligament plasty is an established standard method for the treatment of ACL rupture, there is almost no basis for this procedure in the literature.Thus,new clinically applicable studies are necessary to develop objective guidelines for the treatment of anterior cruciate ligament tears.
