“…In evaluating ligamentous instability of the knee one often uses stress radiography in lateral projection with an applied anterior or posterior stress of known magnitude [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. To quantify translation of the tibia we must define landmarks on both femur and tibia -preferably points close to the joint line -and then measure the distance between these points on radiographs taken with and without stress.…”

We evaluated the accuracy of four different means of radiographic measurement of anteroposterior translation in the knee joint. The tests were performed in normal knees, in knees lacking the anterior cruciate ligament, and in knees lacking both anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments; the knees were obtained from cadavers. It is difficult to define landmarks and to perform exact measurements, and we sought to determine which of the four methods is the most accurate. In particular, we examined the effect of various degrees of rotation and flexion on the positional relationships of the landmarks of the tibia and the femur.
