Posterior Cruciate Ligament Femoral Insertion Site Characteristics Importance for Reconstructive Procedures

摘要: Background:Previous descriptions of the insertion site posterior cruciate ligament are inadequate.Hypothesis:More than one reference system is required to adequately represent anatomy femoral attachment. Study Design: Descriptive anatomic study.Methods:Twelve cadaveric specimens were evaluated by using two measurement methods relative articular cartilage margin and intercondylar roof.Results:Reference lines perpendicular best defined 12- 1-o'clock positions, those or parallel shaft 2-, 3-, 4-o'clock positions. The angle proximal attachment roof was 88° ± 5.5°. a continuum fibers rather distinct bundles, its showed variability in shape thickness, extending past midline notch (11:21 15 minutes 4:12 20 minutes, right knee).Conclu...
