## Abstract The effects of immobilization of the knee joint on the mechanical and ultrastructural properties of the anterior cruciate ligament have not been well documented. Our goal was to determine these effects in a rabbit model and to assess the effect of knee flexion angle during immobilizatio
## 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
As an important step toward determination of the function of cruciate ligaments, the cross-sectional shapes and areas of the anterior cruciate, posterior cruciate, and meniscofemoral ligaments were evaluated in situ within the same knee with use of a laser micrometer system. Measurements were made i
## Abstract The effect of immobilization of the knee in flexion on the development of osteoarthritis was studied in dogs that had undergone transection of the anterior cruciate ligament. Knees of dogs that were permitted ad libitum ambulation in a pen for 12 weeks after transection of the ligament
