Minimal influence of the anterolateral knee ligament on anterior and rotational laxity of the knee: a cadaveric study.

Knee laxity may be impacted by rupture of the anterolateral knee ligament (ALL). The goal of this study was to measure tibial translation and rotation as a function of the status of the ALL and the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Five pairs of fresh frozen cadaver specimens were analyzed.

Experimental validation of the GNRB for measuring anterior tibial translation.

Introduction: The objective of this study was to validate the technique used to measure anterior tibial translation in cadaver knees using the GNRB device by comparing it with the gold standard, the OrthoPilot navigation system.

Hypothesis: Simultaneous measurement of anterior tibial translation by the GNRB and the OrthoPilot in the chosen experimental conditions will result in significant differences between devices.

Material And Methods: Five fresh frozen cadavers were used.
