The posterior cruciate ligament during flexion of the normal knee.
The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) was imaged by MRI throughout flexion in neutral tibial rotation in six cadaver knees, which were also dissected, and in 20 unloaded and 13 loaded living (squatting) knees. The appearance of the ligament was the same in all three groups. In extension the ligament is curved concave-forwards. It is straight, fully out-to-length and approaching vertical from 60...
متن کاملEffect of Posterior Femoral Condylar Offset and Posterior Tibial Slope on Maximal Flexion Angle of the Knee in Posterior Cruciate Ligament Sacrificing Total Knee Arthroplasty
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of femoral condylar offset and posterior tibial slope on maximal flexion angle of the knee in posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)-sacrificing total knee arthroplasty (TKA, Medial-Pivot Knee System). MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-five knees in 35 patients who could be followed up more than 1 year after PCL-sacrificing TKA were evaluated retrospectively. We measured a...
متن کاملPosterior cruciate ligament recruitment affects antero-posterior translation during flexion gap distraction in total knee replacement
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Because of the oblique orientation of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), flexion gap distraction could lead to anterior movement of the tibia, which would influence the tibiofemoral contact point. This would affect the kinematics of the TKR. We assessed the flexion gap parameters when the knee is distracted during implantation of a PCL-retaining TKR. Furthermore, the ...
متن کاملPosterior Cruciate Ligament: Current Concepts Review
The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is the largest and strongest ligament in the human knee, and the primary posteriorstabilizer. Recent anatomy and biomechanical studies have provided an improved understanding of PCL function. PCLinjuries are typically combined with other ligamentous, meniscal and chondral injuries. Stress radiography has becomean important and validated objective measure in...
متن کاملTemporal changes in posterior laxity after isolated posterior cruciate ligament injury: 35 patients examined by stress radiography and MRI.
We examined the temporal changes in posterior laxity and MRI findings in acute isolated posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)-injured knees. 35 patients with acute isolated PCL injuries who attended our clinic within 10 weeks of an injury underwent nonoperative treatment, and were chronologically evaluated for posterior laxity and MRI. We divided them in 3 groups, as regards the evolution of laxity...
