Development of a Patient-Reported Measure of Function of the Knee*

The results suggest that the Activities of Daily Living Scale is a reliable, valid, and responsive instrument for the assessment of functional limitations that result from a wide variety of pathological disorders and impairments of the knee.

Biomechanical Analysis of an Anatomic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Anterior tibial translation for the anatomic reconstruction was significantly closer to that of the intact knee than was the single-bundle reconstruction, indicating that Anatomic reconstruction may produce a better biomechanical outcome, especially during rotatory loads.

Knee Joint Laxity and Neuromuscular Characteristics of Male and Female Soccer and Basketball Players

Women inherently possess significantly greater knee joint laxity values, demonstrate a significantly longer time to detect the knee joint motion moving into extension, possess significantly superior single-legged balance ability, and produce significantly greater electromyographic peak amplitude and area of the lateral hamstring muscle subsequent to landing a jump.

Gender Differences in Strength and Lower Extremity Kinematics During Landing

Kinematic, vertical ground reaction forces, and strength variables in healthy collegiate female basketball, volleyball, and soccer players compared with matched male subjects were evaluated and females had significantly less knee flexion and lower leg internal rotation maximum angular displacement and significantly less peak torque to body mass than males.

In situ forces in the anterior cruciate ligament and its bundles in response to anterior tibial loads

Nonuniformity of the anterior cruciate ligament under unconstrained anterior tibial loads is demonstrated and reconstruction techniques should take into account the role of the posterolateral bundle in addition to that of the anteromedial bundle.

The Effectiveness of Reconstruction of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament with Hamstrings and Patellar Tendon: A Cadaveric Study Comparing Anterior Tibial and Rotational Loads

In current reconstruction procedures, the graft is placed close to the central axis of the tibia and femur, which makes it inadequate for resisting rotational loads, according to this study.

The location of femoral and tibial tunnels in anatomic double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction analyzed by three-dimensional computed tomography models.

This cadaver study provides reference data against which tunnel position in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction can be compared in future clinical trials and visualize and quantify the position of anatomic anteromedial and posterolateral bone tunnels with use of novel methods applied to three-dimensional computed tomographic reconstruction images.
