Biomechanics and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
For years, bioengineers and orthopaedic surgeons have applied the principles of mechanics to gain valuable information about the complex function of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The results of these investigations have provided scientific data for surgeons to improve methods of ACL reconstruction and postoperative rehabilitation. This review paper will present specific examples of how ...
متن کاملThe effects of isometric and isotonic training on hamstring stiffness and anterior cruciate ligament loading mechanisms.
Greater hamstring musculotendinous stiffness is associated with lesser ACL loading mechanisms. Stiffness is enhanced via training, but previous investigations evaluated tendon rather than musculotendinous stiffness, and none involved the hamstrings. We evaluated the effects of isometric and isotonic training on hamstring stiffness and ACL loading mechanisms. Thirty-six healthy volunteers were r...
متن کاملThe Biomechanics of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Its Reconstruction
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) continues to be a major topic in orthopaedics and biomechanics. This is due to the high incidence of injury and its disabling consequences. That the disabling consequences have not yet been completely overcome guarantees continued interest. Injury to the ACL is associated with a range of problems, such as pain, instability, meniscal damage and osteoarthritis...
متن کاملAnterior cruciate ligament injuries: anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and management.
OBJECTIVE Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are the most common ligament injury in the United States. These injuries can be career ending for athletes and severely disabling for all individuals. Our objectives are to review the epidemiology of these injuries, as well as ACL biomechanics, anatomy, and nonsurgical and surgical management so that generalists as well as sports medicine phys...
متن کاملReconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament and anterolateral ligament using interlinked hamstrings – technical note☆
Recent anatomical and biomechanical studies on the anterolateral ligament (ALL) of the knee have shown that this structure has an important function in relation to joint stability, especially when associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. However, the criteria for its reconstruction have not yet been fully established and the surgical techniques that have been described present v...
