The effect of tibial rotation on the presence of instability in the Anterior Cruciate Ligament deficient knee

Article Abstract:

The study analyzes and demonstrates the effects of various clinical outcomes, like the amount of tibial rotation on the presence of discomfort and instability in the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) deficient knee. The results reveal that the external tibial rotation and the figure-of-eight index are not really interrelated, as the amount of tibial rotation is much greater in ACL ruptured knees, as compared to the uninjured ones.

Anterior-cruciate-ligament reconstruction using doubled hamstring-tendon autograft

Article Abstract:

A study aims to clarify whether anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery using the autogenous doubled hamstring-tendon graft can improve fundamental sports abilities. Results demonstrate that postoperative restoration as measured by conventional evaluation scales is not correlated with restoration of sports abilities in patients with ACL insufficiency.
