Instrumented Arthrometry for Diagnosing Partial Versus Complete Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tears

Nineteen patients with the clinical diagnosis of anterior cruciate ligament injury were examined by KT-1000 arthrometry before arthroscopy in an effort to differentiate partial from complete tears, and stress-strain diagrams of partially torn and completely torn ligaments are shown.

A comparison of Telos™ stress radiography versus Rolimeter™ in the diagnosis of different patterns of anterior cruciate ligament tears.

A modeling study of partial ACL injury: simulated KT-2000 arthrometer tests.

The compliance index defined as the ratio of the displacement and the force within 68 N and 90 N anterior drawer forces, the stiffness, and the rate of change of stiffness of the anterior force-displacement were found to be better at predicting partial ACL ruptures than simple differences in anterior tibial translation.

Instrumented Measurement of the Multiple-Ligament-Injured Knee: Arthrometry, Stress Radiography, Rotationometry, and Computer Navigation

The Telos system appears to be the most widely tested and reproducible form of knee ligament stress radiography; however, less expensive techniques are available and have proven themselves useful.

Stress Radiography for the Diagnosis of Knee Ligament Injuries: A Systematic Review

Based on the multitude of stress techniques reported, varying levels of diagnostic accuracy, and inconsistencies regarding comparative efficacy of stress radiography to other diagnostic modalities, the author is not able to make specific recommendations with regard to the best stress radiographic technique for the diagnosis of knee ligament injuries.

Anterior cruciate ligament assessment using arthrometry and stress imaging

Arthrometry and stress imaging are useful clinical tools for the objective assessment of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) integrity. They are most frequently used for the diagnosis of a complete ACL…

Stress Radiographs of the Patellofemoral Joint*

A new radiographic method to demonstrate patellar instability is described and a simple method for the measurement of force-displacement relationships in the patellofemoral joint is offered and confirmed in all patients who had unilateral symptoms.

Medial tibiofemoral-joint stiffness in males and females across the lifespan.

CONTEXT Analyzing ligament stiffness between males and females at 3 maturational stages across the lifespan may provide insight into whether changes in ligament behavior with aging may contribute to…

Reference standards for stress radiography measurements in knee ligament injury and instability: a systematic review.

Despite heterogeneity in the available literature with regard to stress examination techniques and device utilization, the data support that stress radiography techniques were accurate and reliable when compared to numerous alternatives in the diagnosis of acute and chronic knee ligament injuries.
