Excerpt
In their study, Lansdown and colleagues examine the relationship between bone morphology and knee kinematics in patients with ACL injured knees that are subsequently surgically reconstructed. The authors identify four bone-shape features associated with abnormal knee kinematics after ACL injury and ACL reconstruction: (1) Medial femoral condyle height, (2) medial femoral condyle sphericity, (3) length of lateral tibial plateau, and (4) slope of medial tibial plateau. By identifying these features, researchers can better determine how bone morphology relates to kinematics in the ACL injured knee, possess a greater understanding of why the impact of ACL injury on knee function varies between patients, and perhaps even predict the response of the knee and/or the patient to ACL injury, which could guide initial management. …
