Background: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is loaded under tension when the tibia translates anteriorly relative to the femur. The shape of the articular surfaces of the tibiofemoral joint may influence the amount of anterior tibial translation under compressive loading. Thus, a steep lateral tibial plateau and a shallow medial plateau are thought to be risk factors for ACL injury.

- * This study aimed to find a consistent reference length for the ACL by measuring its length in three different positions: resting, standing, and during anterior/posterior drawer testing.
- * Results showed good consistency among the three measurement methods, with length differences under 1 mm, highlighting the potential for reliable ACL strain measurements to indicate injury risk.
Importance: The effects of bempedoic acid on cardiovascular outcomes in statin-intolerant patients without a prior cardiovascular event (primary prevention) have not been fully described.
Objective: To determine the effects of bempedoic acid on cardiovascular outcomes in primary prevention patients.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This masked, randomized clinical trial enrolled 13 970 statin-intolerant patients (enrollment December 2016 to August 2019 at 1250 centers in 32 countries), including 4206 primary prevention patients.
Background: Noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries typically occur during deceleration movements such as landing or cutting. However, conflicting data have left the kinematic mechanisms leading to these injuries unclear. Quantifying the influence of sagittal and coronal plane knee kinematics on in vivo ACL strain may help to elucidate noncontact ACL injury mechanisms.
