The invention concerns a method for manufacturing a prosthetic ligament for replacing a natural articular ligament, comprising between two end parts (2, 2') a median part (3) formed only by a skein of active yarn (4, 11, 12) advantageously in polyester, monofilament or multifilament with a yarn count not less than 100 decitex, longitudinal, adjacent and not transversely linked between them characterised in that previous to the mounting of the ligament (1) a longitudinal twist is given to each active yarn, clockwise or anti-clockwise, for forming a prosthetic ligament (1) for right articulation and left articulation respectively, the ends of said yarn (4, 11, 12) being maintained together by all appropriate means over a sufficient width for constituting the end parts (2, 2') of said prosthetic ligament (1). The invention also concerns the left articulating or right articulating ligament thus obtained.

La présente invention concerne un procédé de confection d'un ligament prothétique pour le remplacement d'un ligament articulaire naturel, comprenant entre deux parties extrêmes (2, 2'), une partie médiane (3) seulement formée par un écheveau de fils actifs (4, 11, 12) avantageusement en polyester, mono ou multi-filamentaires dont le titre est inférieur ou égal à 1200 décitex, longitudinaux, adjacents et non transversalement liés entre eux, caractérisé en ce que préalablement au montage du ligament (1) on donne une torsion longitudinale à chaque fil actif (4, 11, 12) dont on choisit le sens de torsion, horaire ou anti-horaire, pour former respectivement un ligament prothétique (1) pour articulation droite ou articulation gauche, les extrémités desdits fils (4, 11, 12) étant maintenues ensemble par tous moyens appropriés sur une largeur suffisante pour constituer les parties extrêmes (2, 2') dudit ligament prothétique (1), et ligament (1) lévogyre ou dextrogyre ainsi obtenu.
