The natural history of the anterior cruciate ligament(ACL)-deficient knee remains controversial. although numerous investigation have tried to ascertain the course that the knee would follow once the ACL has lost functional integrity. An extensive review of the literature performed according to symptoms. physical examinations, associated surrounding tissue injuries. returns to activity level and radiological changes in the knee joint. An active individual with a non-functioning ACL was susceptible to injury to the menisci and deteriorate the articular cartilage, followed radiographic changes. An activity levels in general also changed after injury. The most common symptom was pain. But instability varied in these individuals. Conclusively we believe that all these factors will eventually, if not initially, result in a symptomatic knee. which will result in significant limitations to the individual's desired level. So we recommend an aggressive approach in person who desired to return to a relatively active life style in young person as well as in middle aged individuals who have significant symptomatic ACL deficient knee.

전방십자인대 부상은 스포츠 활동 중에 빈번하게 발생하며 주로 수술적 치료가 행해진다. 전방십자인대는 전내측과 후외측 다발로 구분되는데 주로 전내측 다발만 재건되는 한다발 재건술이시술되고 있다. 후외측 다발은 경골의 내회전을 복원하는데 효과적이라는 실험 결과가 보고된 바있지만 부상을 야기하는 역동적인 착지동작에서의 역할에 대한 연구가 필요하다. MRI 영상을 이용하여개발된 3차원 슬관절 모델에 인체실험 자료를 입력한 시뮬레이션으로 착지동작 시에 후외측 다발 및두다발 재건술이 얼마나 경골의 내회전을 제어하는지 알아보았다. 본 연구는 후외측 다발 방향의재건이 전내측 다발보다 착지동작 시에 경골 내회전을 효과적으로 감소시키며 두다발 재건술 또한슬관절 회전 안정성을 향상시킴을 밝혔다.

Amomum cadamomum Linne (ACL) has long been utilized against the inhibited qi movement related diseases such as dyspepsia, acute gastroenteritis, vomiting and diarrhea in Korean medicine. We speculated that ACL could improve the metabolic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes through removing the phlegm-dampness and promoting the qi movement or stagnation. This study was designed to investigate effects and molecular mechanisms of ACL extract on the improvement of adipocyte dysfunction induced by TNF-α in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Potential roles of ACL extract in the lipogenesis, inhibition of inflammatory cytokines and insulin resistance, were investigated in this study. Also, we examined the adipose genes and signaling molecules related to insulin resistance and glucose uptake to elucidate its mechanism. Our data demonstrated that TNF-α significantly incresed the release of lipid droplets and the production of MCP-1 and IL-6 from adipocytes. In gene expression, TNF-α reduced the expression of aP2, PPARγ, C/EBPα, GLUT4, and IRS-1 related to lipogenesis and insulin sesitivity, while TNF-α increased the expression of MCP-1 related to inflammation. In addition, TNF-α down-regulated the PPARγ and IRS-1 protein and up-regulated the IRS-1 Ser307 phosphorylation. These alterations induced by TNF-α were prevented by the treatment of ACL extract. Thus, our results indicate that ACL extract can be used to prevent from the TNF-α-induced adipocyte dysfunction through insulin and PPARγ pathways.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify changes in knee muscle strength after reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). Methods: Thirteen subjects (males) with anterior ligament injury and ten subjects (males) with posterior ligament injury voluntarily participated in this study. Both groups were evaluated at the pre-and post-reconstruction stages using an isokinetic dynamometer. Peak torque, total work, and the hamstrings to quadriceps (H/Q) peak torque ratio were calculated at angular velocities of 60°/sec and 180°/sec. Statistical analysis was conducted on SPSS 18.0 for Windows using t-tests to compare mean differences. Results: At an angular velocity of 60°/sec, both the ACL and PCL groups showed a significant increase in muscle strength in the flexors and extensors. Muscle strength in the extensors was significantly increased in the PCL group compared to the ACL group. At an angular velocity of 180°/sec, the ACL group showed a significant increase in muscle endurance in the flexors and extensors, and the PCL group showed a significant increase in muscle endurance in the flexors. At angular velocities of 60°/sec and 180°/sec, the H/Q peak torque ratio increased in the ACL group but decreased in the PCL group. Consequently, the H/Q peak torque ratio was significantly different for the two groups. Conclusion: The results suggest that the patients with ACL injury should focus on strengthening the knee extensors and that the patients with PCL injury need to strengthen the knee flexors.

Purpose: To evaluate the knee joint after double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with three-dimensional (3D) isotropic magnetic resonance (MR) image, and to directly compare the ACL graft findings on 3D MR with the clinical results. Materials and Methods: From January 2009 to December 2014, we retrospectively reviewed MRIs of 39 patients who had reconstructed ACL with double bundle technique. The subjects were examined using 3D isotropic proton-density sequence and routine two-dimensional (2D) sequence on 3.0T scanner. The MR images were qualitatively evaluated for the intraarticular curvature, graft tear, bony impingement, intraosseous tunnel cyst, and synovitis of anteromedial and posterolateral bundles (AMB, PLB). In addition anterior tibial translation, PCL angle, PCL ratio were quantitatively measured. KT arthrometric values were reviewed for anterior tibial translation as positive or negative. The second look arthroscopy results including tear and laxity were reviewed. Results: Significant correlations were found between an AMB tear on 3D-isotropic proton density MR images and arthroscopic proven AMB tear or laxity (P < 0.05). Also, a significant correlation was observed between increased PCL ratio on 3D isotropic MRI and the arthroscopic findings such as tear, laxities of grafts (P < 0.05). KT arthrometric results were found to be significantly correlated with AMB tears (P < 0.05) and tibial tunnel cysts (P < 0.05). Conclusion: An AMB tear on 3D-isotropic MRI was correlated with arthroscopic results qualitatively and quantitatively. 3D isotropic MRI findings can aid the evaluation of ACL grafts after double bundle reconstruction.

The purpose of this study is (a) to estimate effective moment arms of quadriceps forces and (b) to compare the $d_e$ between the ACL-reconstructed and uninjured knees from the same individual. One female (20 yrs old, 2 yrs post-op, hamstring tendon autograft) and two males (22 yrs old, 2 yrs post-op; 28 yrs old, 4 yrs post-op; Patellar tendon autografts for both). Sagittal view radiographs were obtained for 6-7 different angles $(range\;5^{\circ}-110^{\circ})$ from each knee. The do was determined by the method of Chow et al. (1999a). The results showed that the maximum de values ranged from 4.61 to 5.59cm and 4.59 to 4.89cm for the ACL-reconstructed and uninjured knees, respectively. The maximum $d_e$ occurred between $35^{\circ}\;and\;50^{\circ}\;and\;20^{\circ}\;and\;50^{\circ}$ for the ACL-reconstructed and uninjured knees, respectively. The minimum do values ranged from 4.12 to 4.35 cm and 3.12 to 3.63cm for the ACL-reconstructed and uninjured knees, respectively. The effective moment arm of the knee extensor affects the loads on knee ligaments during knee-extension exercises. Because apparent differences in the moment arm of the quadriceps in different participants, it is very important to use personalized knee joint geometry for the computation of knee joint force. In the present study, no noticeable bilateral difference was found in the male subjects. However, apparent bilateral differences in de were observed in the female subject. This suggests that the effects of ACL reconstruction surgery on patellar mechanism deserve further investigation.
