Intraoperative Analysis of Knee Kinematics During ACL Reconstruction - an Exploratory Study

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: ACL - Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture

In brief

Reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a common procedure in orthopaedic surgery, aimed at restoring stability to your knee. This procedure involves performing an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft and an anterolateral ligament (ALL) graft. Despite technological advances and improvements in surgical techniques, failure rates remain high. In this context, a better understanding of knee movements (the position of the femur and tibia, as well as the ligaments) during flexion whilst reconstructing your ACL could improve the precision of reconstructions and reduce the long-term failure rate. Using a surgical navigation system, it is possible to record data on the positioning of the femur and tibia during flexion and extension. This type of morpho-functional analysis of knee kinematics during ACL reconstruction has never been carried out before.
