Three dimensional knee kinematics and kinetics in ACL-deficient patients with and without medial meniscus posterior horn tear during level walking

摘要

Background: The location of the meniscus tear has been reported to influence kinematics in anterior cruciate ligament deficient (ACLD) knees. Medial meniscus posterior horn tear (MMPHT) often occurred after ACL rupture. Whether MMPHT influences the kinematics and kinetics in ACLD knees has not been reported yet.
