- Abstract
We evaluated the accuracy of four different means of radiographic measurement of anteroposterior translation in the knee joint. The tests were performed in normal knees, in knees lacking the anterior cruciate ligament, and in knees lacking both anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments; the knees were obtained from cadavers. It is difficult to define landmarks and to perform exact measurements, and we sought to determine which of the four methods is the most accurate. In particular, we examined the effect of various degrees of rotation and flexion on the positional relationships of the landmarks of the tibia and the femur.
