Congenital absence of the cruciate ligaments

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, 2011
AbstractCongenital absence of the cruciate ligaments is a rare condition with a prevalence of 0.017 per 1,000 live births. The most important finding of this study was the presence of a posterior menisco‐femoral ligament of Wrisberg with cruciate ligaments agenesia and the hypothesis advanced about the development of the ligamentous structures of the ...

Cruciate ligament avulsion fractures

Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopic & Related Surgery, 2004
The objective of this study was to assess the variability of cruciate avulsion fractures.Retrospective observational study.Standardized radiographs and computed tomography (CT) examinations were performed in 40 patients (31 male, 9 female; age range, 10 to 77 years) with cruciate avulsion fractures.The average age of patients with anterior cruciate ...

Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Posterior Cruciate Ligament Tears

2017
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) are two major ligaments that stabilize the knee. Injuries can occur to these ligaments by both contact and noncontact mechanisms. An injury to the ACL may present with a “popping” noise, pain and swelling, and an unsteady knee.

Posterior cruciate ligament injuries

Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2002
There is a relative lack of research and literature investigating injuries to the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), despite the fact that it is an important knee stabilizer. The PCL is injured less frequently than other knee ligaments, and the mechanism is usually a direct blow to the anterior aspect of a flexed knee.

The cruciate ligaments in knee replacement

International Orthopaedics, 1989
The cruciate ligaments were resected with their bony insertions during total knee arthroplasty carried out in 12 patients with severe rheumatoid or osteoarthritis. The ligaments were examined histologically and biomechanically, using ten specimens from healthy adults as a control.

The technique of cruciate ligament reconstruction

The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 1981
Our technique of reconstruction of the anterior and posterior cruciate ligament in both acute and chronic tears, using both the semitendinosus and gracilis ten dons, is described in detail. Combined rotatory insta bilities were carefully evaluated and corrected during the same operation.

ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT RECONSTRUCTION

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1998
Anterior cruciate ligament integrity has a crucial role in chondro-meniscal protection. Early reconstruction prevents persistent instability which may injure these intra-articular structures. Graft options are vast with an increased interest in quadriceps autograft as the donor source.

Anatomy of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1983
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a multifascicular structure whose femoral and tibial attachments, as well as spatial orientation within the knee, are directly related to its function as a constraint of joint motion. The ACL is made up of multiple collagen bundles that give rise to the multifascicular nature of the ligament.

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.

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.
