LARS is suitable for the elderly or the young alike, and can be used for ligament revisions or primary reconstructions.  LARS is ideal for those patients with a high sporting demand or those patients who require a speedy return to work.  In sporting injuries, it is important that reconstruction is carried out as early as possible after the injury, as the best long-term outcomes result from early treatment.  LARS is also suitable for those patients who cannot use their own or donor tissues to reconstruct their ligament injury.

LARS can be used for reconstruction of ruptured ligaments in various places in the body, both inside and outside joints, allowing the original tissues to heal and providing an earlier return to normal function. 

LARS ligaments can be used for the reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), lateral collateral ligaments (MCL and LCL), and patellar tendon.

Dislocation of the collarbone joint (acromio-clavicular dislocation) and damage to the rotator cuff in the shoulder can both be repaired using LARS artificial ligaments.

Achilles tendon injuries (typically sporting injuries) can be repaired using LARS ligaments, and damage to other ligaments which causes lateral instability of the ankle joint can also be repaired.

Elbow

Damaged ligaments in the elbow can be reconstructed or reinforced using LARS ligaments.
