Biomechanics of intra-articular and extra-articular reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1993Many methods of reconstruction for ACL deficiency have been described, but little is known about their biomechanical properties. We examined extra-articular (EA), intra-articular (IA) and combined (EA+IA) reconstructions in ten cadaver knees after the ACL had been ruptured by the performance of a rapid anterior drawer movement. Stability at each stage

Intra-Articular Entrapment of the Medial Collateral Ligament
Orthopedics, 2010The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is the most commonly injured knee ligament. Such injuries in children are rare due to the relative thickness of the articular cartilage and physes that can absorb energy. Traumatic MCL entrapment into the medial knee joint in a child has not yet been reported.

Progress in the treatment of articular fractures and ligament injuries
Der Orthopäde, 1997The treatment of joint injuries has seen a marked development in the last years. The surgical trauma of articular reconstruction was reduced and our deeper understanding of the mechanism of connective tissue healing influenced the rehabilitation program after joint injuries significantly. Indirect soft-tissue sparing reduction techniques can be applied

Ligament Contribution to Patterns of Articular Fractures of the Distal Radius
The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2011Intra-articular fractures of the distal radius are common injuries, but the correlation between ligament attachments and fracture location is poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to assess the location of intra-articular fractures compared to the known ligament attachments of the distal radius.The authors retrospectively reviewed computed ...

Intra-articular analgesia for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2012May 2016. It has now been decided that this is a low priority topic. We are not seeking new authors to take over this withdrawn protocol. April 2016. The published protocol has been withdrawn as the original authors are no longer interested in continuing with the review and we have been unable to find new authors to take the project over.

Quantitative analysis of the fine vascular anatomy of articular ligaments
IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 1992An image analysis technique has been developed to quantitatively describe the fine vascular patterns observed in ligament tissue. The longitudinal orientational distribution and total vessel volume of India-ink-perfused blood vessel segments in normal and healing ligaments were determined.

Mechanical Analysis of Extra-Articular Knee Ligaments. Part One: Native knee ligaments
The Knee, 2017The aim of this study was to provide a characterization of the tensile properties of the medial collateral ligament (MCL), lateral collateral ligament (LCL), anterolateral ligament (ALL) and medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL). Our hypothesis was that extra-articular knee ligaments are heterogeneous in nature and possess distinct material properties ...

Articular cartilage homeostasis after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, 1998AbstractSeveral factors may be responsible for osteoarthritis after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The detrimental effect of the surgical technique may explain part of the progression of the pathologic process. In this study, the effect of ACL reconstruction on articular cartilage was investigated by measuring proteoglycan fragments ...

Intra-articular Reconstruction of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1985In this article, the author provides criteria for the recommendation of surgical intervention in acute and chronic anterior cruciate ligament insufficiency and describes various intra-articular procedures for both conditions. Intra-articular reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament with a vascularized patellar tendon graft is described in ...

The history of intra-articular anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
Operative Techniques in Orthopaedics, 1992Numerous procedures and various natural and synthetic materials have been used to reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament-deficient knee. Although the patellar tendon autograft seems to be the most commonly used substitute, techniques incorporating the pes tendons, iliotibial band, and meniscus have been described.
