Ultrasonographic Ventral Hip Joint Approach and Relationship with Joint Laxity in Estrela Mountain Dogs [PDF]
AnimalsHip dysplasia (HD) is a prevalent disease in medium- to large-breed dogs, characterized by joint laxity and degenerative joint changes. The early diagnosis of HD poses significant challenges, as radiographic imaging often identifies the disease only in ...

Comparison of anterior knee laxity, stiffness, genu recurvatum, and general joint laxity in the late follicular phase and the ovulatory phase of the menstrual cycle [PDF]
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2021 Background One risk factor for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury may be fluctuations in female hormones. This study examined variability in joint laxity, as a risk factor for ACL injury, during the menstrual cycle.

Can Intraoperative Intra-Articular Loads Predict Postoperative Knee Joint Laxity Following Total Knee Arthroplasty? A Cadaver Study with Smart Tibial Trays [PDF]
Sensors, 2021 Ligament balancing during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) often relies on subjective surgeon experience. Although instrumented tibial trays facilitate an objective assessment of intraoperative joint balance through quantification of intra-articular joint ...

PCL insufficient patients with increased translational and rotational passive knee joint laxity have no increased range of anterior–posterior and rotational tibiofemoral motion during level walking [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Passive translational tibiofemoral laxity has been extensively examined in posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) insufficient patients and belongs to the standard clinical assessment. However, objective measurements of passive rotational knee laxity, as well

Posterior-stabilized total knee arthroplasty kinematics and joint laxity: A hybrid biomechanical study [PDF]
Arthroplasty, 2022 Background Posterior-stabilized (PS)-total knee arthroplasty (TKA) arose as an alternative to cruciate-retaining (CR)-TKA in the 1970s. Since then, it has become a popularly utilized TKA design with outcomes comparable to CR-TKA.
