Fifty patients who underwent a MacIntosh repair for anterolateral instability of the knee have been reviewed after a mean follow-up of two and a quarter years. The repair abolished a positive anterolateral jerk test in 42 out of 50 knees and at the time of review 37 patients (74 per cent) were involved in some form of active sport, having regained functional and clinical stability. The MacIntosh repair is described in detail and the importance of excluding meniscal lesions as the main cause of instability is emphasised.
