Experimental evaluation of the biomechanics of ligamentum collaterale mediale in intact and ruptured posteromedial capsule of the knee joint

Abstract

This work planned to evaluate the biomechanical response of the ligamentum collaterale mediale (LCM) of the knee joint to valgus loadingwhen the posteromedial capsule (PMC) was cut and when it was intact. The contributory role of the posteromedial capsule to medial stability was tested and the results were presented. On human knee joint, it was shown that the PMC has a 15 % contributory role in the stability of LCM. Consequently applied forces had produced laxity of the joint. When it was continued to apply a force after LCM had ruptured, the posterior crossing ligament also had ruptured. Most ruptures of LCM was from the point of insertion to femur. Posteromedial complex had been shown to be an important structure in restoration of knee instability and in reconstruction of ligament ruptures.
