Aplasia of both cruciate ligaments is a rare congenital disorder. A 28-year-old male presented with pain and the feeling of instability of his right knee after trauma. The provided MRI and previous arthroscopy reports did not indicate any abnormalities except cruciate ligament tears. He was referred to us for reconstruction of both cruciate ligaments. The patient again underwent arthroscopy whi...

A systematic approach to evaluation and treatment is needed for the patient with knee dislocation. There is a paucity of high-level evidence on which to base treatment decisions. Reported controversies related to the treatment of the multiligament-injured knee include the selective use of arteriography for vascular assessment, serial physical examination with the ankle-brachial index, acute sur...

background: a rare and devastating complication following anterior cruciate ligament (acl) revision reconstruction is femoral fracture.    case presentation: a 35-year old male soccer player with a history of acl tear from the previous year ago, who underwent arthroscopic acl reconstruction and functioned well until another similar injury caused acl re-rupture. revision of acl reconstruction wa...

  The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is composed of two bundles, which work together to provide both antero-posterior and rotatory stability of the knee. Understanding the anatomy and function of the ACL plays a key role in management of patients with ACL injury. Anatomic ACL reconstruction aims to restore the function of the native ACL. Femoral and tibial tunnels should be placed in their an...

BACKGROUND Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) ruptures are common sports injuries. One of the key controversies in PCL reconstruction is whether double-bundle reconstruction provides biomechanical and clinical outcomes superior to single-bundle reconstruction. METHODS We performed a comprehensive search in multiple databases to evaluate the advantages of single-bundle or double bundle reconstr...

The purpose of this study was to define the sonographic appearance and echogenicity of the normal posterior cruciate ligament. We examined the posterior cruciate ligament of five amputated specimens and five normal subjects using a 10 MHz linear array transducer. One K-wire was inserted into the substance of the posterior cruciate ligament of the amputated knee specimens to verify the location ...

BACKGROUND Although there is evidence that very active, young patients are better served with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, there is a lack of objective data demonstrating that future knee injury is prevented by these procedures. HYPOTHESIS Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction protects against reinjury of the knee that would require reoperation. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective ...
