objectives: the aim of the present study was to compare the performance of the vertical jump task and the level of disability between the coper and non-coper athletes with an anterior cruciate ligament-minus knee. methods: thirty-four professional male athletes with isolated complete anterior cruciate ligament-tear (age 20-29 years and 6-12 months time past injury) were recruited in this study....

The orthopaedic surgeon who performs opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO) has to be aware of the behavior slope depending on variations in location hinge and inclination osteotomy. most important point is that changing both rotation axis cut affects slope. There a natural trend unintentionally increase when performing an HTO. However, increased been established as risk factor for primary r...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to compare the effect of a whole body vibration training (wbvt) protocol with a conventional physiotherapy (pt) program on knee joint position sense and balance after anterior cruciate ligament (acl) reconstruction. methods: the study was designed as a single blind rct, twenty athletes with unilateral acl reconstruction were randomly assigned to the w...

abstract: knee joint has major role in lower extremity activities. emong different elements of knee joint complex, anterior cruciate ligament has becom more interested because of its alignment, structural complication, varied never receptors and frequently susceptibility to injury. afterinjury of this ligament knee extensor torque decreases. the aim of this research was that reduce of quadricep...

Purpose  The aim of this review was to analyze the current literature on osteoarthritic evolution of knees without any combined meniscal or ligament lesions undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Methods  A PubMed/MEDLINE research was performed using the following keywords: "Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction" [Mesh] AND "Osteoarthritis, Knee" [Mesh]. Only English la...

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury and ACL reconstruction is common in the United States. However, when compared to the standards of other orthopedics procedures today, ACL reconstruction is NOT predictably successful in restoring patients to their pre-injury state. Only 60-70% of reconstructed patients resume their previous level of activity and many patients experience some degree of ost...

BACKGROUND The cruciate ligaments are important stabilizers of the knee joint and determine joint kinematics in the natural knee and after cruciate retaining arthroplasty.No in vitro data is available to biomechanically evaluate the ability of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) to maintain knee joint kinematics after bicruciate-retaining bi-compartmental knee arthroplasty (BKA).Therefore, the...

Tibial anterolateral rotary instability associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears is a well-documented and difficult problem long history of solutions. The lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) has undergone multiple refinements in technique, largely focusing on the femoral site insertion using either an interference screw versus staple for adequate fixation. In this article, we ...

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is among the most important ligaments in medial unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) indication and postoperative survival. There no consensus regarding treatment options of acute ACL rupture after UKR. The debate whether total or reconstruction should be performed if patient has an instability complaint still open. In this case report, we aimed to report sur...

Background: The amount of anterior tibial translation during rehabilitation exercises is a key factor in organizing exercise regimen after anterior cruciate ligament injury. Excessive anterior tibial translation could increase the magnitude of tension imposed on injured and reconstructed anterior cruciate ligament knees. Forward lunge and open-kinetic knee extension exercises are commonly used ...
