An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is one of the most common injuries in athletes. The arthroscopic ACL reconstruction procedure gold standard for treatment. However, improvement injury classification and suture materials has subsequently made primary repair an alternative surgical treatment option. This Technical Note describes with synthetic augmentation several high-strength sutures fi...

The aim of this surgical technical note is to provide a more secure option prevent possible graft loosening with all-inside anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. A triple strategy used. First, fixed loop cortical device used on the femoral side. Second, an internal brace augmentation for ACL employed during early postoperative period. Lastly, tying off sutures tibial adjustable after...

BACKGROUND Recently backward walking is used by physical therapists to strengthen the hamstring muscles and thus improve the function of the knee joint of anterior cruciate ligament deficient patients. The aim of this study was to examine the stride-to-stride variability of anterior cruciate ligament deficient patients during backward walking. The variation of how a motor behavior emerges in ti...

the aim of this study is to compare three modes of femoral fixation, namely aperfix, rigidfix and endobutton, in anterior cruciate ligament (acl) reconstruction. 120 patients were randomly assigned to three groups, each consisting of 40 patients, and each group was treated by one of the above mentioned methods of femoral fixation. all patients were examined prior to and 24 months after surgery,...

Background: The Indonesian versions of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament-Return to Sport after Injury (ACL-RSI), International Knee Documentation Committee subjective knee form (IKDC), and Lysholm scores are considered valid reliable for Indonesian-speaking patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Purpose/Hypothesis: purpose this study was determine responsiveness ACL-RSI, IKDC, in a...

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury has been the most controversial ligamentous injuries which have been studied in detail for the past 20 years. Knee instability is a disabling clinical problem. Management of ACL injured patients depends on an early diagnosis and adequate treatment. This article deals with the advent and the progression of various techniques of ACL reconstruction.

Introduction: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is an important restraint to anterior posterior translation and torsional stability of the knee joint[1]. After ACL rupture the role of the secondary restraints become of primary importance in ensuring knee joint stability[2][3][4]. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of chronic ACL deficiency on the secondary restraints by meas...

Neurocognitive motor tasks have been shown to have an effective relationship with athletic performance and musculoskeletal injuries. Cognitive changes following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery may lead to adverse knee biomechanical changes and an increased risk of secondary injury. This study aimed to compare the kinetics of athletes with a history of ACL reconstruction and th...

Cidera anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) merupakan rusaknya pada yang jaringan menghubungkan tulang femur dan tibia. ACL sering terjadi saat berolahraga atau bahkan melakukan kegiatan sehari-hari. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan studi kasus untuk mengetahui efektifitas penatalaksanaan fisioterapi ACL. Problematika pasien yaitu mengalami nyeri gerak tekan, keterbatasan Range of motion (ROM)...

During daily training, shot putters are prone to acute complete anterior cruciate ligament injury, which is mainly treated with early reconstruction under knee arthroscopy to restore stability of injured athletes’ knee as soon as possible, help them towards early recovery and resume normal work and training. During knee arthroscopic treatment, extrusion screws are mainly used for acute complete...
