Dynamic Effect of Quadriceps Muscle Activation on Anterior Tibial Translation After Single-Bundle and Double-Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
(2015)Purpose: To examine differences in anterior tibial translation in 3 groups: single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-reconstructed, double-bundle ACL-reconstructed, and ACL-intact knees under gradual dynamic quadriceps ... -
Excessive tibial rotation during high-demand activities is not restored by anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
(2005)Purpose: Recent in vitro research has suggested that anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction does not restore control of tibial rotation. The purpose of this study was to explore these findings in vivo and investigate ... -
Tibial Rotation Under Combined In Vivo Loading After Single- and Double-Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
(2011)Purpose: To evaluate in vivo the differences in tibial rotation between single-and double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-reconstructed knees under combined loading conditions. Methods: An 8-camera optoelectronic ...
