## Abstract The posterolateral structures of the knee consist of a complex anatomical architecture that includes several components with both static and dynamic functions. Injuries of the posterolateral structures occur frequently in conjunction with ruptures of the posterior cruciate ligament. To
## Abstract Cruciate ligament tensions were predicted for anteroposterior (AP) tibial translation at 20Β°, 30Β°, 80Β°, and 90Β° of knee flexion based on in vitro measurements from six cadaver knees. A threeβdimensional trigonometric equation was derived to calculate ligament tension as functions of AP
## 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.
