The critical clinical and scientific insights achieved through knowledge of in vivo
musculoskeletal soft tissue strains has motivated the development of relevant measurement …

Purpose Currently there are many functional knee braces but very few designed to treat the
posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). No PCL braces have been biomechanically validated to …

There is a growing interest in three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) as a
research tool for the study of bone, joint anatomy, and kinematics. However, when CT data …

Purpose This study's purpose was to investigate how an ideal anatomic femoral attachment
affects the dynamic length change pattern of a virtual medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) …

Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries are often encountered in the setting of other knee
pathology and sometimes in isolation. A thorough understanding of the native PCL anatomy …

Patterns of fibre elongation and orientation for the cruciate and collateral ligaments of the
human knee joint and for the patellar tendon have not yet been established in three …

Background: The ideal points for medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction have
not been precisely defined. Purpose: To determine at which flexion angles the grafts should …

Background The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is the strongest ligament of the knee,
serving as one of the major passive stabilizers of the tibio-femoral joint. However, despite a …

Background To minimize the killer turn caused by the sharp margin of the tibial tunnel exit in
transtibial PCL reconstruction, surgeons tend to maximize the angle of the tibial tunnel in …

Purpose The optimal technique for reconstruction of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is
controversial. Regardless of surgical technique and graft choice, anatomic graft placement is …
