Abstract
Injury of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) leads to static and dynamic instability, with a risk of joint degeneration. The purpose of surgical reconstruction is to re-establish joint stability and function. It does not restore the sensorial system. The purpose of this work was to compare, in terms of postural stability, healthy knees and operated knees five years after ligamentoplasty versus 31. A dynamic posturography device was used for assessment. It was concluded that there was no difference between the two groups concerning postural stability.
