- Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of reconstructions of the anterior cruciate ligament to resist anterior tibial and rotational loads. We hypothesized that current reconstruction techniques, which are designed mainly to provide resistance to anterior tibial loads, are less effective in limiting knee instability in response to combined rotational loads.
