Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of medial versus lateral meniscectomy on the stability of the anterior cruciate ligament-deficient knee.
TL;DR: Although the medialMeniscus functions as a critical secondary stabilizer to anteriorly directed forces on the tibia during a Lachman examination, the lateral meniscus appears to be a more important restraint to anterior tibial translation during combined valgus and rotatory loads applied during a pivoting maneuver.
Journal ArticleDOI
Varying femoral tunnels between the anatomical footprint and isometric positions: effect on kinematics of the anterior cruciate ligament-reconstructed knee.
Volker Musahl,Anton Plakseychuk,Andrew VanScyoc,Tomoyuki Sasaki,Richard E. Debski,Patrick J. McMahon,Freddie H. Fu +6 more
TL;DR: A femoral tunnel position inside the anatomical footprint of the anterior cruciate ligament results in knee kinematics closer to the intact knee than does a tunnel position located for best graft isometry, with a significant difference between the tunnel positions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anterior cruciate ligament anatomy and function relating to anatomical reconstruction.
TL;DR: This review focuses on the structural as well as the mechanical properties of the ACL and the anatomical details of the femoral origin, midsubstance, and tibial insertion of AM and PL bundles of the ACL.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transtibial versus anteromedial portal reaming in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: an anatomic and biomechanical evaluation of surgical technique.
Asheesh Bedi,Volker Musahl,Volker Steuber,Daniel Kendoff,Daniel Choi,Answorth A. Allen,Andrew D. Pearle,David W. Altchek +7 more
TL;DR: The anteromedial portal drilling technique allows for accurate positioning of the femoral socket in the center of the native footprint, resulting in secondary improvement in time-zero control of tibial translation with Lachman and pivot-shift testing compared with conventional transtibial ACL reconstruction.
Journal ArticleDOI
A systematic review of the femoral origin and tibial insertion morphology of the ACL
TL;DR: A systematic review of the morphology of the ACL femoral origin and tibial insertion as reported in the literature to understand the individual variations in size and shape.
