Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is a common indication for Magnetic Resonance imaging examination, the advancements in have provided considerable potential one-stop shop radiation-free assessment with an all-in-one modality examination of knee joint. The aim this study to evaluation anterior joint using magnetic resonance imaging. A was performed evaluate meniscal and

Anterior cruciate ligament rupture (ACL) is a common injury, particularly among young sporting adults. Early onset osteoarthritis (OA) can be a devastating and difficult to manage consequence of such an injury. The techniques for reconstructing the ACL are advancing all the time, but the effect that this has on the progression of OA is less well understood. Many factors affect the development o...

BACKGROUND Successful anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with use of soft-tissue grafts requires healing between tendon and bone. Little is known about the effect of mechanical load on the cellular and molecular cascade of tendon-to-bone healing. Understanding these mechanical influences has critical implications for postoperative rehabilitation following anterior cruciate ligament recon...

BACKGROUND The mechanism for noncontact anterior cruciate ligament injury is still a matter of controversy. Video analysis of injury tapes is the only method available to extract biomechanical information from actual anterior cruciate ligament injury cases. PURPOSE This article describes 3-dimensional knee joint kinematics in anterior cruciate ligament injury situations using a model-based im...

D espite more than 40 years of clinical focus on the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)–injured knee, a complete understanding of the injury mechanism, the optimal treatment plan (including reconstruction), and the best protocol for rehabilitation continue to stimulate much debate. Prevention efforts focused on ACL injuries have been laudable, but unfortunately, far too many young athletes still ...
