BACKGROUND Good functional performance with limb symmetry is believed to be important to minimize the risk of injury after a return to pivoting and contact sports after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate any side-to-side limb differences in functional performance and movement asymmetries in female soccer players with a primary unilateral ...

The potential harm to the growth plate following reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament in skeletally-immature patients is well documented, but we are not aware of literature on the subject of the fate of the graft itself. We have reviewed five adolescent males who underwent reconstruction of the ligament with four-strand hamstring grafts using MR images taken at a mean of 34.6 months...

The novel test based on isometric alternating consecutive maximal contractions performed by two antagonistic muscles has been recently proposed as a test of muscle function in healthy subjects. The aim of this study was to evaluate reliability and sensitivity of a novel test as a test of knee muscles function in athletes recovering from anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Fifteen male at...

OBJECTIVE Evaluate the correlation between magnetic resonance imaging, clinical examination and intraoperative identification of posterolateral corner injuries of the knee. METHODS We compared the findings of physical examination under anesthesia and intraoperative findings as the gold standard for the posterolateral corner injury with the reports of the MRIs of patients who underwent reconst...

BACKGROUND Intra-articular techniques (single and double bundles) are the most widely used procedures for the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Lemaire introduced in 1967 the extra-articular techniques, and combined intra-articular and extra-articular reconstruction, to better restore the stability of the knee. However, the effectiveness of these procedures (intra-articular, extra-arti...

PURPOSE To evaluate the results of our method of surgical treatment of traumatic knee dislocation with injury to the posterolateral corner by use of a standardized protocol. METHODS Twenty-five consecutive patients presented with a grossly dislocated or reduced knee. Five of these patients were not included in this series. The remaining 20 patients were treated by primary arthroscopic reconst...
