Journal ArticleDOI
The effectiveness of reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament with hamstrings and patellar tendon . A cadaveric study comparing anterior tibial and rotational loads.
Savio L. C. Woo,Akihiro Kanamori,Jennifer Zeminski,Masayoshi Yagi,Christos D. Papageorgiou,Freddie H. Fu +5 more
TL;DR: In current reconstruction procedures, the graft is placed close to the central axis of the tibia and femur, which makes it inadequate for resisting rotational loads, according to this study.
Journal ArticleDOI
The forces in the anterior cruciate ligament and knee kinematics during a simulated pivot shift test: A human cadaveric study using robotic technology
Akihiro Kanamori,Savio L. C. Woo,C. Benjamin Ma,Jennifer Zeminski,Theodore W. Rudy,Guoan Li,Glen A. Livesay +6 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that the ACL plays an important role in restraining coupled anterior tibial translation in response to the simulated pivot shift test as well as under an isolated internal tIBial torque, especially when the knee is near extension.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of axial tibial torque on the function of the anterior cruciate ligament * **: A biomechanical study of a simulated pivot shift test
TL;DR: This study showed that a minimal amount of internal torque in combination with valgus torque may be a suitable way to elicit a pivot shift from an ACL-deficient knee.
Journal ArticleDOI
Injury and Repair of Ligaments and Tendons
Savio L. C. Woo,Richard E. Debski,Jennifer Zeminski,Steven D. Abramowitch,Serena S. Chan Saw,James A. Fenwick +5 more
TL;DR: In this chapter, biomechanical methods used to analyze healing and repair of ligaments and tendons are initially described such that the tensile properties of these soft tissues as well as their contribution to joint motion can be determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
In-situ force in the medial and lateral structures of intact and ACL-deficient knees.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, although both the MCL and PLS play only a minor role in resisting anterior tibial loads in the intact knee, they become significant after ACL injury.
