How to rapidly abolish knee extension deficit after injury or surgery: a practice-changing video pearl from the Scientific Anterior Cruciate Ligament Network International (SANTI) Study Group [PDF]

, 2018
Knee extension deficit is frequently observed after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction or rupture and other acute knee injuries. Loss of terminal extension often occurs because of hamstring contracture and quadriceps inactivation rather than ...

Microfracture for full‐thickness chondral lesions of the knee in elite athletes leads to high return‐to‐play rates

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Injuries to the knee are common in elite athletes and often involve damage to the articular cartilage. Given the high demands of elite sport, full‐thickness articular cartilage defects in the knee can be career‐limiting or threatening.

The meniscofemoral ligaments do not contribute to restriction of posterior tibial translation: A robotic biomechanical analysis

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The aim of this study was to quantify the contribution of the meniscofemoral ligaments (MFLs) on restraining a posterior tibial translation (PTT) in the human knee joint. Methods Sixteen human cadaveric knee joints were tested in a robotic test setup with six degrees of freedom.

A Review on Biomechanics of Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Materials for Reconstruction

Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2018
The anterior cruciate ligament is one of the six ligaments in the human knee joint that provides stability during articulations. It is relatively prone to acute and chronic injuries as compared to other ligaments.

The Association of Dorsiflexion Flexibility on Knee Kinematics and Kinetics during a Drop Vertical Jump in Healthy Female Athletes [PDF]

, 2014
Purpose While previous studies have examined the association between ankle dorsiflexion flexibility and deleterious landing postures, it is not currently known how landing kinetics are influenced by ankle dorsiflexion flexibility.

Delayed reconstruction is associated with higher rates of medial meniscus and chondral injury following ACL injury: A New Zealand ACL Registry Study

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Early reconstruction for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture may be controversial, with some clinicians opting for a trial of non‐operative management first. The impact of delayed surgery on outcomes is unclear, but it may be associated with an increase in secondary intra‐articular pathology involving the menisci and cartilage ...

Relationship between Tibial conformation, cage size and advancement achieved in TTA procedure [PDF]

, 2018
Previous studies have suggested that there is a theoretical discrepancy between the cage size and the resultant tibial tuberosity advancement, with the cage size consistently providing less tibial tuberosity advancement than predicted.

Generalised joint hypermobility and excess knee hyperextension are associated with an increased risk for second ACL injury, but not primary ACL injury, in female football players: A 5‐year follow‐up

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This study aimed to investigate the association between generalised joint hypermobility, knee hyperextension, knee laxity, and static standing alignment with the risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in a cohort of female football players with an ACL‐reconstructed (ACLR) knee and in knee‐healthy controls.
