Oooops... wrong key again ;-)
Robyna, I did not at all want to criticise your choice, but working in the field of knee surgery and being very familar with these procedures, I would have used the other term. But this is only my personal opinion ;-)
Robyna (asker) Aug 28, 2007:
THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE!
Robyna (asker) Aug 28, 2007:
Petra, yes, that's what I wrote in the comment to your answer that reconstruction is the general trerm for both methods. But I need a term for the artificial ligament. It's really tricky to trust google. As I wrote above i trusted the matches as they were from American and Australian medical journals, but it seems you can't rely on that.
Robyna (asker) Aug 28, 2007:
Edith, I think you are right. I went through the articles of the medical journals where google gave me a match for replacement plasty. The articles do appear in American and Australian journals but this term appears when the article is translated from a German source. You are totally right, I was much too hasty, but what does this mean? Is this term maybe acceptable in medical reports or not?
PPaulus Aug 28, 2007:
@Edith: I totally agree with you. Replacement plasty doesn't seem the right answer to me, neither. And I'm sure others would have agreed with us.
@Robyna: "Reconstruction" is used for both artificial and autologous ligaments.
Edith Kelly Aug 28, 2007:
Robyna, you should ideally wait for 24 hrs (also recommended by KudoZ) before grading as you might get better answers or peer suggestions. I personally cannot agree with the answer you have chosen, if at all, replacement with the plasty bit.

Ich wuerde 'cruciate ligament replacement plasty' oder 'replacement plasty of the cruciate ligament' sagen

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Vielen Dank! Also bei dieser Übersetzung wäre ich alleine wohl schon verzweifelt. Ich habe diese Antwort gewählt nachdem ich einige Artikel mit beiden Suchbegriffen gelesen habe und zu dem Ergebnis gekommen bin, dass reconstruction der allgemeinere Begriff ist. Bei einer reconstruction wird oft das Gewebe für ein neues Kreuzband aus dem eigenen Körper entnommen, während hier tatsächlich etwas künstliches gemeint ist."

ACL / PCL reconstruction

Wenn's um eine vordere oder hintere Kreuzbandplastik geht, passt ACL (anterior cruciate ligament = vorderes Kreuzband) bzw. PCL (posterior cruciate ligament = hinteres Kreuzband) reconstruction (seltener auch "replacement").

Google mal damit, es gibt unendlich viele Artikel hierzu...
Note from asker:
Vielen Dank für Deine Mühe. Nachdem ich jedoch einige Artikel gelesen habe, benötige ich wohl doch eher den anderen Begriff, denn bei einer reconstruction kann aber muss es sich nicht um ein künstliches Band handeln, man entnimmt es oft auch dem eignen Gewebe. Was man beim Übersetzen nicht so alles lernt ...

agree Edith Kelly

agree Dr Sue Levy (X) : yes, and might have to slip the word "synthetic" (augmentation) in somewhere http://www.coringroup.co.uk/p_productsligaments.html#Ant and...

Yep, that's a very good idea ;-)
