Biomechanics of the human anterior cruciate ligament. ACL structure and role in knee motion
Orthop Rev.
1992 Jul.
Abstract
Surgical reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) to restore knee stability has introduced many subjects of debate, including graft selection, reconstructive technique, and postoperative rehabilitation. In the first part of this two-part review, the tensile properties of the human ACL and the role of the ACL in knee kinematics are discussed. Reconstructive techniques for ACL replacement with regard to the biomechanics of the ACL in normal and ACL-deficient knees will be addressed in Part II.
