The Anterior Cruciate Ligament Problem*

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1983
The management of the acutely injured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) was evaluated by a survey of 58 orthopedic surgeons in North America. The ACL is the most frequently totally torn ligament in the knee. Diagnosis may be made with a combination of tests: anterior drawer, Lachman, and pivot shift.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

AORN Journal, 2001
ABSTRACTThe anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most commonly reconstructed knee ligament. It is estimated that more than 100,000 new ACL injuries occur annually. This article discusses preoperative education, perioperative nursing care, surgical technique, and postoperative management of patients undergoing ACL reconstruction procedures. AORN J 74

Reconstruction of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1976
A report is given of a personal series of 72 cases of injury of the anterior cruciate ligament, reconstructed by use of modifications of the Jones procedure. After one year, stability of the knee without a drawer sign was obtained in 80 per cent of the cases.

Biomechanics of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1983
The principal role of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is to resist anterior displacement of the tibia on the femur. The ACL also has a major role in resisting internal rotation. The posterior fibers are longest, or most tense, in extension, and are therefore the major resistance to hyperextension and are more susceptible to injury in extension ...

Replacement of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament with a Bone-Ligament-Bone Anterior Cruciate Ligament Allograft in Dogs

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1987
Acute replacement of the canine anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) with a frozen, bone-ligament-bone anterior cruciate ligament preparation was studied using biochemical, immunologic, and biomechanical testing methods. Nine dogs were used for the study, six dogs received allografts and three received autografts.

The Normal Anterior Cruciate Ligament as a Model for Tensioning Strategies in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Grafts

The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 2005
Background There is some confusion about the relationship between the tension placed on the graft and the joint position used in the fixation of anterior cruciate ligament grafts. This is because of deficiency in accurate basic science about this important interaction in the normal and reconstructed anterior ...

Arthroscopic reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament

Arthroscopy, 1988
Summary Arthroscopic reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament was compared with reconstruction through a miniarthrotomy. The operation time was significantly longer with arthroscopy, but the Lysholm scores and activity levels were the same in both groups before and 1 year after the operation.

Imaging the anterior cruciate ligament

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 2002
MR imaging has surpassed all other imaging modalities to become the "gold standard" for imaging evaluation of ACL injury. The accuracy and sensitivity of MR imaging for evaluation of ACL tears is excellent when correlated with clinical tests and arthroscopic findings, and is improved in equivocal cases with assessment of secondary signs for ACL tear ...

The Anterior Cruciate Ligament

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1979
Both primary repair and late substitution of anterior cruciate ligaments can be accomplished by intra-articular methods. This principle is to provide temporary struts that are initially avascular but can later undergo revascularization and metaplasia to form a new ligament. The graft does afford initial support, however.

Reconstruction of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 1992
Ligaments are strong collagenous structures that act as constraints on joint motion, thus confining the articular surfaces to more or less the same paths. In so doing they prevent arbitrary apposition of these surfaces from occurring and resulting in abnormal stresses which may damage the joint surfaces.
