Incidence of posteromedial meniscocapsular separation and the biomechanical implications on the anterior cruciate ligament
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons Feb 15, 2019
Edgar C, et al. - A sum of 337 participants were studied to analyze the incidence of posterior medial meniscocapsular junction (PMCJ) separation in cases with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and also to estimate its biomechanical influence on the ACL. They noticed 13.1%, PMCJ tear incidence with ACL disruption. They noted that specimen with PMCJ tears had statistically improved anterior tibial translation at 30° and statistically inclined ACL strain at 30° and 90°. They found a reduction in translation by 12%, 18%, and 10% at 0°, 30°, and 90° of flexion, respectively with PMCJ repair. A decline in ACL strain by 40%, 39%, 43%, and 31% at 0°, 30°, 60°, and 90° of flexion, respectively, was also obtained.
