Biomechanics and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction [PDF]

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2006
For years, bioengineers and orthopaedic surgeons have applied the principles of mechanics to gain valuable information about the complex function of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The results of these investigations have provided scientific data for surgeons to improve methods of ACL reconstruction and postoperative rehabilitation.

Periprosthetic total knee fracture after remote reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2017
Background Distal femoral fracture is a rare, but significant, postoperative complication of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. However, there has not been a reported case of periprosthetic total knee arthroplasty fracture associated with a ...

Hourglass-shaped grafts are superior to conventional grafts for restoring knee stability and graft force at knee flexion angle of 30° following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A finite element analysis

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
Background: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) using a generally columnar graft is considered the gold standard for treating anterior cruciate ligament ruptures, but such grafts cannot replicate the geometry and mechanical properties of the

Early Rehabilitation with Weight-bearing Standing-shaking-board Exercise in Combination with Electrical Muscle Stimulation after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction [PDF]

, 2012
The objective of early rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is to increase the muscle strength of the lower extremities. Closed kinetic chain (CKC) exercise induces co-contraction of the agonist and antagonist muscles. The

Revision Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction [PDF]

Sports Health: A Multidisciplinary Approach, 2013
Context: Reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most common surgical procedures, with more than 200,000 ACL tears occurring annually. Although primary ACL reconstruction is a successful operation, success rates still range from 75% to 97%.

Revascularization to the bone tunnel wall after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction may relate to the distance from the vessels

Knee Surgery & Related Research, 2020
Purpose We use magnetic resonance angiography to evaluate the difference of vascular ingrowth to the bone tunnel on the anterior and posterior walls quantitatively after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

The vasculature and its role in the damaged and healing tendon [PDF]

, 2002
Tendon pathology has many manifestations, from spontaneous rupture to chronic tendinitis or tendinosis; the etiology and pathology of each are very different, and poorly understood. Tendon is a comparatively poorly vascularised tissue that relies heavily
