Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction-an in vitro study of isometry

Abstract: In six intact cadaver knees, we measured how the distance between six selected points in and around the femoral and tibial attachment area of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) changed with knee flexion. After complete removal of the PCL, 2-mm drill holes were made at the selected points. Each femoral point was measured against each tibial point using a heavy string that was passed through the drill holes. The distal end of the string was attached to a measuring unit. The changes in femorotibial distance we… Show more

“…Several studies have evaluated the correct location for the PCL graft [6,24,[26][27][28][29][30][31][32], showing that the location of femoral tunnel placement has a greater effect on graft performance than does the location of the tibial tunnel placement. However, these studies did not consider the different fiber orientations, and a global analysis of graft performance should consider both sets of information.…”

“…To reconstruct the posterior cruciate ligament (LCP) it is fundamental to know its isometry. The LCP isometry was studied by several authors using different experimental models, as unextensible wire connecting the points or trigonometric calculus, (Bach et al 3 , Bomberg et al 4 , Covey et al 5 , Friederich and O'Brien 6 , Grood et al 8 , Juergensen et al 9 , Kurosawa et al 11 , Odensten and Gillquist 12 , Ogata and McCarthy 13 , Ortiz et al 14 , Sidles et al 15 , Trus et al 16 ).…”

“…Dos estudos que comparam a variação da isometricidade causada por modificações da localização dos pontos no fêmur e na tíbia, os resultados são uniformes de que modificações na tíbia causam pequenas alterações na isometricidade, enquanto que mudanças da localização de pontos no fêmur podem causar grandes variações da isometricidade (3,4,6,8,9,15,16) .…”
