  • Title: Active knee motion after cruciate ligament rupture. Stereoradiography.
    Author: Kärrholm J, Selvik G, Elmqvist LG, Hansson LI.
    Journal: Acta Orthop Scand; 1988 Apr; 59(2):158-64. PubMed ID: 3364185.
    Abstract:
    In 10 patients with an old injury of the anterior cruciate ligament, the three-dimensional movements of the knee joint were studied when the patients flexed their knees. Tibial motions were recorded using roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis. Internal rotation and adduction of the tibia were reduced in the injured knees when compared with the intact knees; during flexion of the knee joint, the tibial intercondylar eminence occupied a more lateral and posterior position on the injured side. Our results may indicate that the knee joint is continuously exposed to abnormal stresses when the anterior cruciate ligament is torn.
