The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) anatomy is very significant if a reconstruction is attempted after its rupture. An anatomic study should have to address, its biomechanical properties, its kinematics, its position and anatomic correlation and its functional properties. In this review, an attempt ...
Each knee cruciate ligament is about 2cm long and any force which stretches it an additional 1.7mm (8% total length) will result in complete ligament tear. 1. Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) The anterior cruciate ligament sits deep in the middle of the knee joint. It attaches to the front...
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) consists of two major fiber bundles, namely the anteromedial and posterolateral bundle. When the knee is extended, the posterolateral bundle (PL) is tight and the anteromedial (AM) bundle is moderately lax. As the knee is flexed, the femoral attachment of...
Purpose To categorize and summarize up-to-date anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) research published in Arthroscopy and The American Journal of Sports Medicine and systematically review each subcategory, beginning with ACL anatomy. Methods After searching for “anterior cruciate ligament” OR “ACL” in...
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) The ACL originates on thelateral condyleof the femur and inserts onto the anterior intercondylar area. Its function is to preventanterior displacementof the knee. The ACL is the most commonly injured ligament of the knee. ...
Collateral ligaments:medial and lateral, MCL & LCL that are found either side of the joint and control sideways stability of the knee In theknee ligament anatomysection we look at each of the different ligament in-depth including how they work, what their role is, how they get damaged and ...
of the ACL,anteriorrefers to the attachment of the ligament to the front portion of the tibia’s intercondylar area; by contrast, in the case of the PCL,posteriorrefers to the ligament’s connection to the rear portion of the tibia. The ACL is typically 26–38 mm (about 1–1.5 inches...
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are most often a result of low-velocity, noncontact, deceleration injuries and contact injuries with a rotational component. Contact sports also may produce injury to the ACL secondary to twisting, valgus stress, or hyperextension all directly related to conta...
摘要: > .05). Conclusions: The compared methodologies showed similar locations of the ACL insertions, assuring accurate preoperative planning with the CAS system. However, the CAS system requires adjustment to each individual knee anatomy.关键词: Computer assisted orthopaedic surgery ACL Planning ...
Inside the joint, there are additional reinforcing ligaments, such as the transverse ligament, together with the anterior (ACL) and posterior (PCL) cruciate ligaments. These intracapsular knee ligaments prevent dislocation of the joint, but can be commonly injured amongst professional athletes. Key ...
