Biomechanics of intra-articular and extra-articular reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1993
Many 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

Articular and ligamentous contributions to the stability of the elbow joint

The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 1983
This preliminary study of four elbow specimens inves tigates the relationship of articular geometry and liga mentous structures in providing stability to the elbow joint. A technique is presented that describes the con straining features of varus-valgus and distraction in extension and at 90° of elbow flexion.

Cruciate ligament graft intra‐articular distances

Arthroscopy, 1997
Abstract Although the length of the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments have been well characterized in the literature, we are not aware of any studies of the actual length of grafts used in reconstruction of these ligaments. We dissected and measured these distances for 18 cadaver knees of varying size and sex.

Intra-articular ganglion cysts of the cruciate ligaments

European Radiology, 2000
Intra-articular ganglion cysts of the cruciate ligaments are associated with non-specific clinical signs and symptoms. Familiarity with the MR appearances in particular is important to make an accurate diagnosis, exclude associated abnormalities, and avoid misdiagnosis.

Intra-Articular Entrapment of the Medial Collateral Ligament

Orthopedics, 2010
The 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, 1997
The 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

[Homologous cruciate ligament transplantation as intra-articular ligament replacement].

Zeitschrift fur Orthopadie und ihre Grenzgebiete, 1993
A multiplicity of surgical operations have been developed in an attempt to achieve satisfactory function after ACL repair. None of these procedures have been able to duplicate the fiber organization, attachment site anatomy, vascularity, or function of the ACL.

Quantitative analysis of the fine vascular anatomy of articular ligaments

IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 1992
An 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.

Ligaments and articular contact guide passive knee flexion

Journal of Biomechanics, 1998
The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that the coupled features of passive knee flexion are guided by articular contact and by the isometric fascicles of the ACL, PCL and MCL. A three-dimensional mathematical model of the knee was developed, in which the articular surfaces in the lateral and medial compartments and the isometric fascicles in

The role of ankle ligaments and articular geometry in stabilizing the ankle

Clinical Biomechanics, 2012
Ankle joint stability is a function of multiple factors, but it is unclear to what extent extrinsic factors such as ligaments and intrinsic elements such as geometry of the articular surfaces play a role. The purposes of this study were to determine the contribution of the ligaments and the articular geometry to ankle stability and to determine the ...
