Experimental evaluation of the biomechanics of the knee cruciate ligaments

Abstract

This study was done to investigate the biomechanical responses of (ACL) and (PCL) of knee against compulsions of valgus, varus, extension flexion, internal and external rotations. Participations of ACL and PCL on stabIity of the knee were investigated and the results obtained were presented there. An extension occured on ACL when tibia was pulled in the direction of front side, whereas on PCL when tibia was pushed in the direction of back side. If was observed that ACL is stretched in internal and external rotation of the tibia during flexion and extension, PCL is stretched only during extantion, and both ACL and PCL are strecthed during hyperextantion, which higher on PCL. Also stretchings were observed in varus on ACL, in varus-val- gus on PCL. Rupture on ACL occured on the part of tibia, where as on PCL occured on the part of femur. It was concluded that ACL on the knee prevents sliding to the front of tibia resists to compulsions of rotational and varus in the case of extension and that PCL participates the stabilities of varus and valgus, stretches highly in hyperextension, and plays a major role in the rotational stability in extension.
