Purpose: To evaluate whether tibiofemoral rotation is associated with a concurrent anterolateral ligament (ALL) injury and pivot-shift grading in patients with a primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear.

Methods: In this multicenter cross-sectional study constituting a secondary analysis of previous studies, medical records and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of patients with unilateral primary ACL injury were reviewed. Demographics and pivot-shift grading were collected.

Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models use a mechanistic approach to delineate the processes of the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of biological substances in various species. These models generally comprise coupled systems of ordinary differential equations involving multiple states and a moderate to a large number of parameters. Such models contain compartments corresponding to various organs or tissues in the body.

We first establish what kinds of qualitative data and analysis are used in biological anthropology.
