## Abstract The function of the anterior cruciate ligament was investigated for different conditions of kinematic constraint placed on the intact knee using a sixβdegreeβofβfreedom robotic manipulator combined with a universal forceβmoment sensor. To do this, the __in situ__ forces and force distri

## Abstract A noncontact, kinematic method was used to determine the lengths and in situ loads borne by portions of the human anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) by the combination of kinematic data from the intact knee and loadβlength curves of the isolated ACL. Specimens from knees of cadavers of yo
## Abstract The objective of this study was to: (1) determine the distribution of lubricin in the human torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscus; (2) determine the distribution of lubricin in the human intact ACL and meniscus; (3) and identify potential cellular sources of lubricin in the
This study investigated the impact of a combination of axial compressive and anterior-posterior tibial loads on the in situ forces in the anterior cruciate ligament. An axial compressive load is believed to contribute to increased stability of the knee joint; however, its effect on in situ forces in
## Abstract The anterior cruciate ligament has a complex fiber anatomy and is not considered to be a uniform structure. Current anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions succeed in stabilizing the knee, but they neither fully restore normal knee kinematics nor reproduce normal ligament, function.
