Abstract:
Preoperative ligament laxity can be characterized intraoperatively using digital robotic tensioners. Understanding how preoperative knee joint laxity affects preoperative and early post-operative patient reported outcomes (PROMs) may aid surgeons in tailoring intra-operative balance and laxity to optimize outcomes for specific patients.This study aims to determine if preoperative ligament laxity is associated with PROMs, and if laxity thresholds impact PROMs during early post-operative recovery.106 patients were retrospectively reviewed. BMI was 31±7kg/m2. Mean age was 67±8 years. 69% were fem

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to systematically review and synthesize the literature measuring varus–valgus laxity in individuals with tibiofemoral osteoarthritis (OA). Specifically, we aimed to identify varus–valgus laxity differences between persons with OA and controls, by radiographic disease severity, by frontal plane knee alignment, and by sex. We also aimed to identify if there was a relationship between varus–valgus laxity and clinical performance and self-reported function.

Arthrometric assessment for glenohumeral (GH) laxity is currently unprecedented in orthopedic practice. Clinical evaluation of GH laxity is based on manual tests that lack objectivity and reliability. We have developed an arthrometer that quantifies AP laxity relative to applied load. Forty healthy shoulders were assessed for AP laxity at 67-, 89-, 111-, and 134-N load levels. A factorial ANOVA revealed significant mean (±SD) differences between directions (p <.0001) and between loads (p <.001).

Background Female athletes suffer a higher incidence of anterior cruciate ligament injuries compared to their male counterparts, and they appear to be at increased risk for these injuries when they have increased anterior-posterior knee laxity and at specific phases of the menstrual cycle. Although the mechanism by which these factors combine to increase injury risk is unclear, studies suggest that cyclic variations in joint laxity produced by hormone fluctuation during the menstrual cycle pre-dispose an athlete to increased risk of ligamentous injury.

Eight ACL and eight PCL injured subjects performed active and passive anterior-posterior knee drawer tests. These tests were performed during two sessions to verify their reliability. Posterior and anterior laxity were recorded for the PCL and the ACL injured subjects, respectively. Laxity was measured at forces o

Abstract:
The role of meniscal lesions and their removal or repair in combination with Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction has been studied, but mostly in cadaveric setting; thus, the in-vivo role remains unexplored. Another emerging topic is the role of anatomy -and in particular the role of posterior tibial slope- as risk factor for ACL failure. Moreover, the role of anatomy has been investigated also regarding the genesis of joint laxity, but only in cadaveric models or with static radiographic studies.
