2. 6. Dynamic knee stability after anterior cruciate ligament injury : Emphasis on rehabilitation

   Author : Sofi Tagesson (Sonesson); Joanna Kvist; Birgitta Öberg; Suzanne Werner; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rehabilitation; anterior cruciate ligament; knee joint; joint instability; muscle strength; electromyography; ACL reconstruction; Physiotherapy; Sjukgymnastik fysioterapi;

   Abstract : Anterior cruciate ligament injury leads to increased sagittal tibial translation, and perceptions of instability and low confidence in the knee joint are common. Many patients have remaining problems despite treatment and are forced to lower their activity level and prematurely end their career in sports. READ MORE

4. 7. Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction - Early predictors of outcome

   Author : Thorkell Snaebjörnsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Knee; ACL; registry; hamstring tendon; anterior cruciate ligament; patellar tendon; graft failure; graft fixation; graft diameter; autograft; revision; outcome;

   Abstract : The rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a serious injury, often resulting in functional instability and increased laxity of the knee joint. Patients suffering an ACL injury run the risk of further complications, such as meniscal or cartilage injury in the short term and degeneration of the knee joint in the long term. READ MORE

5. 8. Knee joint laxity and kinematics after anterior cruciate ligament rupture : roentgen stereophotogrammetric and clinical evaluation before and after treatment

   Author : Håkan Jonsson; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Anterior cruciate ligament; Kinematics; Anterior-posterior laxity; Surgery; Roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis; Muscle strength; Functional tests;

   Abstract : Rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) increases anterior-posterior (AP) laxity. The treatment aims to reduce or teach the patient to control this instability. Altered kinematics due to absent ligament function may result in knee arthrosis. This study evaluated the clinical and functional results of reconstructive surgery. READ MORE

6. 9. Revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction - current evidence, predictors and outcome

   Author : Eleonor Svantesson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; anterior cruciate ligament; ACL; reconstruction; revision; medial collateral ligament; MCL; knee;

   Abstract : Despite extensive research in the field of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, primary ACL reconstruction failure and a high re-rupture rate remain a problem. Far too many patients experience a second devastating hit – the need to undergo a revision ACL reconstruction. READ MORE

7. 10. Anterior cruciate ligament injuries in children

   Author : Per-Mats Janarv; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Anterior cruciate ligament; Anterior tibial spine fracture; Child; Growth plate; Knee function; Rabbit; Treatment;

   Abstract : The thesis discusses the two most common injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in children: The rupture in the substance of the ACL and the anterior tibial spine (ATS) fracture. The latter is an avulsion fracture of the tibial attachment of the ACL. The injuries and their treatment are studied in two clinical papers. READ MORE
