Effect of Acl Reconstruction Graft Size on Simulated Lachman Testing: A Finite Element Analysis

摘要

INTRODUCTIONACL reconstructions are frequently performed following ACL injury. The most common treatment is single bundle reconstruction. While ACL reconstructions have been studied clinically and experimentally, quantitative information regarding the local biomechanics the knee following ACL reconstruction is generally lacking. Specifically, the role of graft size on joint stability and soft tissue injury propensity is currently unknown.
