Coupled Motions Under Compressive Load in Intact and ACL-Deficient Knees: A Cadaveric Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Knowledge of the coupled motions, which develop under compressive loading of the knee, is useful to determine which degrees of freedom should be included in the study of tibiofemoral contact ...
How Cyclic Loading Affects the Migration of Radio-Opaque Markers Attached to Tendon Grafts Using a New Method: A Study Using Roentgen Stereophotogrammetric Analysis (RSA)
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An increase in anterior laxity following reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) can result from lengthening of the graft construct in either the regions of fixation and/or the ...
An In Vitro Osteotomy Method to Expose the Medial Compartment of the Human Knee
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study was conducted to validate a new in vitro method to expose the medial compartment of the knee to be used in subsequent studies aimed at examining the load bearing capabilities of ...
Empirical Relationship Between Lengthening an Anterior Cruciate Ligament Graft and Increases in Knee Anterior Laxity: A Human Cadaveric Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Lengthening of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft construct can occur as a result of lengthening at the sites of tibial and/or femoral fixation and manifests as an increase in anterior ...
Migration of Radio-Opaque Markers Injected Into Tendon Grafts: A Study Using Roentgen Stereophotogrammetric Analysis (RSA)
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An increase in anterior laxity following reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) can result from lengthening of the graft construct either at the sites of fixation and/or between ...
Lengthening of a Single-Loop Tibialis Tendon Graft Construct After Cyclic Loading: A Study Using Roentgen Stereophotogrammetric Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Although single-loop tibialis tendon allografts have increased in popularity owing to their many advantages over patellar tendon and double-loop hamstring tendon autografts, some percentage of the ...
Does Graft Construct Lengthening at the Fixations Cause an Increase in Anterior Laxity Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction in vivo?
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A millimeter-for-millimeter relation between an increase in length of an anterior cruciate ligament graft construct and an increase in anterior laxity has been demonstrated in multiple in vitro ...
Virtual Axis Finder: A New Method to Determine the Two Kinematic Axes of Rotation for the Tibio-Femoral Joint
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The tibio-femoral joint has been mechanically approximated with two fixed kinematic axes of rotation, the longitudinal rotational (LR) axis in the tibia and the flexion-extension (FE) axis in ...
Roentgen Stereophotogrammetric Analysis Methods for Determining Ten Causes of Lengthening of a Soft-Tissue Anterior Cruciate Ligament Graft Construct
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: There are many causes of lengthening of an anterior cruciate ligament soft-tissue graft construct (i.e., graft+fixationdevices+bone), which can lead to an increase in anterior laxity. These causes ...
Can Markers Injected Into a Single-Loop Anterior Cruciate Ligament Graft Define the Axes of the Tibial and Femoral Tunnels? A Cadaveric Study Using Roentgen Stereophotogrammetric Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Lengthening of a soft-tissue anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft construct over time, which leads to an increase in anterior laxity following ACL reconstruction, can result from relative motions ...
