In this chapter, the biology, biomechanics, and clinical evaluation of patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries will be discussed. ACL anatomy and its relationship with knee biomechanics are reviewed in detail. Changes to native knee kinematics following ACL injuries are discussed along with bony morphologic features and neuromuscular factors that influence biomechanics. Lastly, the history, physical examination, and radiographic findings pertinent to the clinical management of patients with an ACL injury are reviewed.

摘要

In this chapter, the biology, biomechanics, and clinical evaluation of patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries will be discussed. ACL anatomy and its relationship with knee biomechanics are reviewed in detail. Changes to native knee kinematics following ACL injuries are discussed along with bony morphologic features and neuromuscular factors that influence biomechanics. Lastly, the history, physical examination, and radiographic findings pertinent to the clinical management of patients with an ACL injury are reviewed.
