Simultaneous rupture of both the patellar tendon and the anterior cruciate ligament is a relatively rare injury. Its diagnosis can easily be missed during the initial examination. Treatment options include immediate repair of the patellar tendon with either simultaneous or delayed reconstruction of the ACL. We present the case of a combined rupture of the patellar tendon, the anterior cruciate ...

Introduction: An application (app) that summarizes best practices may promote standardized care among clinicians treating patients during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rehabilitation. The purpose of this study was to test the prototype Ready Set Return (RSR) app determine receptiveness for use in clinical practice.

background :disruption of anterior cruciate ligament (acl) is a common ligamentous injury of the knee. the choice of graft for (acl) reconstruction remains controversial. this prospective, randomized clinical trial aimed to compare clinical results of bone-patellar tendon-bone (bptb) grafts and four-strand semitendinosus-gracilis (st) grafts for acl reconstruction over a 3-year follow-up interv...

CONTEXT Side-to-side quadriceps strength deficits are linked to hazardous lower extremity mechanics and reduced function at a time when individuals are returned to activity after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. As a result, generalized criteria have emerged in the literature, wherein researchers are recommending that patients be cleared for participation once side-to-side diffe...

A significant number of papers relatively to the investigation made on Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction (ACLR) has been published in orthopaedic related journals. Finite Element (FE) Analysis (FEA) used predict performance biomechanical-biomedical systems as well effect clinical factors ACLR success.

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

Surgical management of the anterior cruciate ligamentdeficient knee has evolved from primary repair to extracapsular augmentation to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using biologic tissue grafts. The technique of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction has improved over the last few decades with the aid of knowledge gained from basic science and clinical research. The biology and bio...

The purpose of this study was to estimate cruciate ligament forces in Alpine skiing during a movement that has been associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears. Resultant knee joint forces and moments were obtained from two skiers during a World Cup Downhill race using an inverse dynamics approach and a 2-D bilaterally symmetric system model. It was found that ACL forces were typical...
