Repair of antero lateral ligament injuries in acute anterior cruciate ligament tears: an in vivo study using navigation
Background. To evaluate the effect of antero-lateral ligament (ALL) repair on the anterior- tibial translation (ATT) and the axial-tibial rotation (ATR) during the pivot-shift test with a navigation system in patient undergoing acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction of acute injuries of anterolateral compartment in cases of acute ACL tears.
