The posterolateral corner (PLC) was once considered the “dark side” of the knee, and it was not until recent times that consistent anatomic and biomechanical descriptions aided in improved outcomes. Several factors may have contributed to previous […]
The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is recognized to be the main posterior stabilizer of the knee. PCL injuries are most commonly associated with concurrent ligament injuries and also with a high prevalence of chondral and meniscal injuries. Recent evidence of the accuracy of the stress radiographs as […]
Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques, such as T2 and T2 star (T2*) mapping, have been used to evaluate ligamentous tissue in vitro and to identify significant changes in structural integrity of a healing ligament. These studies lay the foundation for a clinical study that uses quantitative mapping to evaluate ligaments in vivo, […]
