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 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 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.

Book excerpt: This volume presents detailed information on surgically relevant anatomy and histology of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), biomechanics, diagnostics, and ACL reconstruction. In light of the growing body of evidence demonstrating the advantages of anatomic ACL reconstruction over traditional methods, there are also discussions of single anteromedial bundle reconstruction and anatomic ACL reconstruction with abundant descriptions of experimental and clinical studies. In addition, particular attention is given not only to techniques such as ACL augmentation, bone-patella tendon-bone reconstruction and computer-assisted navigation, but it also presents expert analysis of revision of ACL reconstruction, complications, and the future perspectives of ACL reconstruction. Edited by authoritative orthopedic surgeon from the Japanese Orthopaedic Society of Knee, Arthroscopy and Sports Medicine (JOSKAS), this book provides up-to-date information for orthopedic surgeons and physical therapists specializing in the ACL. The research evidence will broaden readers’ understanding and enable them to optimize outcomes for patients. As ACL rupture is a common injury especially for high-level athletes, it will also attract sports trainers and team physicians who are interested in a recent update on this field.
