Technical considerations in lateral extra-articular reconstruction coupled with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A simulation study evaluating the influence of surgical parameters on control of knee stability

摘要

Background: Surgical parameters such as the selection of tibial and femoral attachment site, graft tension, and knee flexion angle at the time of fixation may influence the control of knee stability after lateral extra-articular reconstruction. This study aimed to determine how sensitive is the control of knee rotation and translation, during simulated pivot-shift scenarios, to these four surgery settings.
