Preoperative3
- Background -The decision whether to retain or resect the posterior cruciate ligament in total knee arthroplasty is at present determined clinically by preoperative radiological variables focusing upon the amount of joint destruction, and subsequent soft tissue contractures. (bmj.com)
- Methods -Twenty posterior cruciate ligaments, obtained during total knee arthroplasty, were evaluated histologically to study the relation between the degree of preoperative radiological joint destruction, structural integrity of the posterior cruciate ligament and the neurological integrity of the targeted tissue. (bmj.com)
- 1 - 3 However, Mahoney and colleagues 4 showed that, after total knee arthroplasty, the physical strain on the ligament was different to that seen in preoperative normal knees, and femoral roll back was reduced. (bmj.com)
Posterior4
- Retain or sacrifice the posterior cruciate ligament in total knee arthroplasty? (bmj.com)
- All patients with grade five radiological knee joint destruction displayed mucoid degeneration and irregularity of the posterior cruciate ligament fibres. (bmj.com)
- Conclusion -Because of the extensive architectural and probably functional damage of the posterior cruciate ligament in patients who have grade five radiological knee joint destruction, retention of the posterior cruciate ligament in knee prosthesis should not be advocated. (bmj.com)
- 5 , 6 Some authors reported that proprioception was decreased after posterior cruciate ligament resection, 1 , 3 , 7 whereas others found no further worsening of position sense after cruciate sacrificed total knee arthroplasty. (bmj.com)
Severely1
- 10 However, it is ambiguous to state that the biomechanics of the (severely) degenerative knee joint will be altered in time, with subsequent adaptations (that is, degeneration) of the knee ligament structure. (bmj.com)
Normal knee1
- Excision of the cruciate ligaments in a normal knee joint will alter the biomechanics of the knee joint. (bmj.com)
