Abstract

The purpose of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is to restore the native stability of the knee joint and to prevent further injury to meniscus and cartilage, yet studies have suggested that joint laxity remains prevalent in varying degrees after ACL reconstruction. Imaging can provide measurements of translational and rotational motions of the tibiofemoral joint that may be too small to detect in routine physical examinations. Various imaging modalities, including fluoroscopy, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), have emerged as powerful methods in measuring the minute details involved in joint biomechanics. While each technique has its own strengths and limitations, they have all enhanced our understanding of the knee joint under various stresses and movements. Acquiring the knowledge of the complex and dynamic motions of the knee after surgery would help lead to improved surgical techniques and better patient outcomes.

Orthop J Sport Med. 2014;2(8):2325967114547346. doi:10.1177/2325967114547346. Using dual flouroscopic imaging techniques combined with 3D-MRI for bone model reconstruction, this study observed the kinematic behavior of ACL-deficient knees with meniscus tears during stair ascending activities. This is a typical 2D–3D image matching method, and the study demonstrated that combined ACL/meniscus injury could alter the kinematics of ACL-injured knees in a different way compared with knees with isolated ACL tears. This can lead to future studies to specificify treatments for patients with combined ACL/meniscus injuries. CrossRef

This is another 2D–3D image matching method but this time using 3D-CT model and dynamic stereo x-ray, which allows short imaging times and high frame rates for more strenuous activities such as downhill running. Greater internal tibial rotation was associated with larger magnitude of sliding motion in the medial compartment during downhill running. The study also concluded that neither single bundle nor double bundle ACL reconstruction restored normal knee kinematics. CrossRefPubMedPubMedCentral
