Download or read book Rotatory Knee Instability written by Volker Musahl and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-27 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to equip the reader with the knowledge and tools required for provision of individualized ACL treatment based on the best available evidence. All major aspects of the assessment of rotatory knee instability are addressed in depth. A historical overview of arthrometers, both invasive and non-invasive, is provided, and newly developed devices for the measurement of rotatory knee laxity are considered. Recent advances with respect to the pivot shift test are explained and evidence offered to support a standardized pivot shift test and non-invasive quantification of the pivot shift. Specific surgical techniques for rotatory laxity are described, with presentation of the experience from several world-renowned centers. In addition, functional rehabilitation and “return to play” are discussed. In keeping with the emphasis on an individualized approach, the book highlights individualization of surgical reconstruction techniques in accordance with the specific injury pattern and grade of rotatory knee laxity as well as the use of individualized rehabilitation techniques. Numerous high-quality images illustrate key points and clear take-home messages are provided.

Download or read book The ACL Deficient Knee written by Vicente Sanchis-Alfonso and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-18 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book approaches the ACL deficient knee from a different perspective than those of the previous classical ways. The common approach is the analysis of closed compartments; anatomy, biomechanics, physical findings, imaging, surgical treatment and rehabilitation. The approach of this book is completely opposite, focusing on questions, controversies, problem analyses and problem solving, besides analyzing the possibility of prevention. Therefore, in each chapter, the biomechanics, anatomy, and other areas that are relevant to the topic are reviewed. There are chapters where highly specialized surgical techniques are presented (acute ACL repair, double bundle reconstruction, chondral lesions treatment or meniscal transplant). These chapters are written by internationally renowned specialists that are pioneers in the topic analyzed. Another interesting aspect of this book are the step by step surgical techniques videos, that will allow a knee specialist to perform the technique presented by the author. Moreover, the videos will include anatomy and physical therapy techniques.

Download or read book Anterior Cruciate Ligament Deficiency and Reconstruction Alter Magnitude and Location of Tibiofemoral Contact Stresses written by Carl Imhauser and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Clinical examinations assess the ability of ACL reconstruction to restore stability to the knee joint. However, the ability of ACL reconstruction to restore contact mechanics at the tibiofemoral articulation is not well understood. Hypothesis/Purpose: The magnitude of tibiofemoral contact stresses will remain abnormal following ACL reconstruction, even though the stability of the ACL-deficient knee will be increased following reconstruction. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: Six degrees of freedom robotic technology was used to load cadaveric knee joints mimicking common clinical tests of anterior and rotational stability of the knee. Eleven knees were tested with the ACL intact, after sectioning it, and after standard single bundle ACL reconstruction using tunnels drilled through the center of the footprints of the native ACL. Motion patterns were recorded. A stress transducer was fixed to tibial plateau and contact stress was recorded while performing the simulated exams. Mean contact stresses were calculated regionally in the medial and lateral compartments of the tibial plateau. Results: ACL reconstruction improved stability of the ACL-deficient knee under anterior and rotational loads within 2mm and 3ʻ of the ACL-competent knee. However, knee motions were constrained beyond their intact status at flexion angles less than 30ʻ. Mean contact stresses on the tibial plateau remained abnormal after ACL, reconstruction. Conclusions: Subtle changes in knee motion patterns can alter contact mechanics. Therefore, more sensitive methods to clinically assess knee stability following ACL reconstruction may be needed to assess and compare treatments for ACL rupture. Clinical Relevance: Altered contact mechanics may play an important role in onset and progression of OA following ACL injury and reconstruction.

Download or read book Controversies in the Technical Aspects of ACL Reconstruction written by Norimasa Nakamura and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-21 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the reader with the best available evidence on the most pressing issues relating to reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) with the goal of supporting surgical reconstruction of the ACL and improving outcomes for patients. Key topics for which evidence-based information is presented include selection of graft material and source, the use of different surgical techniques, graft rupture in relation to surgical technique, and progression to osteoarthritis. The book will aid the surgeon in making decisions with respect to fixation devices and tensioning, the bundles to be reconstructed, and whether to preserve remnants or partial bundle ruptures. An evidence-based stance is taken on evolving topics such as the anatomy of the tibial insertion site of the ACL and the role of the anterolateral capsule and posteromedial corner in high-grade rotatory instability. Furthermore, novel technical developments for measurement of knee laxity and soft tissue navigation are discussed. The reader will also find useful information on general issues concerning physical examination, arthroscopic setup, timing of reconstruction, anesthesia, and anticoagulation.

Download or read book Late Reconstructions of Injured Ligaments of the Knee written by K.P. Schulitz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Different views about the biomechanics of the knee joint and late re construction of ligamentous injuries underline the obstacles impeding the establishment of generally acceptable principles for the treat ment of such lesions. As late as June 1976, HUGHSTON emphasized in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery that in spite of excellent anatomic studies, substantial uncertainty still prevails in knee joint surgery. Even the signifi cance of the anterior drawer sign for ruptures of the anterior cru ciate ligament is interpreted quite diversely, as illustrated in a comparison of HUGHSTON, GIRGIS, TORG, and SCHIECK, who give varying opinions concerning the indication related to the age of the patient or possible earlier joint damage as well as concerning the prognosis for untreated knee joints. The question still remains as to how often an intra-articular ligamentous replacement should be carried out in addition to extra-articular techniques (0 'DONOGHUE, SLOCUM, NICHOLAS, HUGHSTON). Lastly the question of synthetic ligament replacement must be clarified. After basic research has well advanced, clinical ex perience must be discussed. Statements concerning the therapeutic value of diverse procedures based solely on knowledge of the literature remain problematic. For this reason a workshop was held at the University of Heidelberg in the Orthopedic Clinic (Head: Prof. Dr. H. COTTA) in June 1977, with the aim of bringing together representatives of the different leading schools in a round table discussion to comment on still unsolved ques tions.
