Combined Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Lateral Extra-Articular Reconstruction
Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopic & Related Surgery, 2022The anterolateral complex (ALC) of the knee has received renewed research interest because of the potential role of this anatomic region in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear biomechanics and surgical treatment outcomes. The primary structures of the ALC include the iliotibial band deep (Kaplan) fibers, the anterolateral ligament (ALL), and the ...

[Homologous cruciate ligament transplantation as intra-articular ligament replacement].
Zeitschrift fur Orthopadie und ihre Grenzgebiete, 1993A 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.

Ligaments and articular contact guide passive knee flexion
Journal of Biomechanics, 1998The 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

Intra-articular ganglion cysts of the cruciate ligaments
European Radiology, 2000Intra-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, 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.

Intra-Articular Analgesia after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
Acta chirurgiae orthopaedicae et traumatologiae Cechoslovaca, 2007In this double-blind prospective study, pain after reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) was evaluated using the visual analogue scale (VAS). Comparisons were made between patients administered an intra-articular analgesic mixture of adrenaline, morphine and bupivacaine (Marcaine) and those without it, between patients surgically ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

Biomechanics of Extra-Articular Ligaments of the Knee and Extra-Articular Tenodesis
2021Rotational knee instability following anatomic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has warranted a new look at the anterolateral structures of the knee and their biomechanical behavior. Although the anatomy of the knee has not changed, controversy has arisen from the recent description of a novel anterolateral ligament (ALL).
