High-grade rotatory knee laxity may be predictable in ACL injuries

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy Jun 28, 2018

Musahl V, et al. - Researchers evaluated the association between lateral compartment acceleration and translation during pivot shift testing. They presumed that an association would exist in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-injured and uninjured knees, irrespective of sex, but would be greatest in knees with combined ACL and lateral meniscus tear. Findings suggested a moderate association of lateral compartment acceleration and translation in ACL-injured knees, but largely correlated in males with combined ACL and lateral meniscus tears. In males, ACL and lateral meniscus injury might, therefore, be suspected when both lateral compartment acceleration and translation are elevated. In ACL-injured males with concomitant lateral meniscus tears, surgeons should have a greater degree of suspicion for high-grade rotatory knee laxity.
