  • Biomechanics of the soft tissue arc different from that of bone. Soft tissue has characteristics of nonhomogeneous, no-linear, anisotropic, viscoelastic, and finite deformation. Biomechanics of ACL, one of the soft tissue, are briefly described : structural and mechanical properties, viscoelastic response, immobilization, kinematics and static function.

  • The knee joint is most commonly affected. Until now, there were several reports of this condition, but this report seems to be the first one reporting localized Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis (PVNS) after anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) reconstruction. The authors experienced localized PVNS after ACL reconstruction with bone-patellar tendon-bone at follow-up 4 years and confirmed the diagnosis by pathologic examination.

  • The anatomy which is the systemic understanding of a structure and the physical examinations which is the functional assessment of its role comprise the fundamental capability for a clinician providing medial care to the knee. This article provides the basic anatomy of the bones, meniscus, anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments, medial and lateral collateral ligaments, muscles, medial and lateral 3 layer concept, anterior and posterior aspect of the knee, bursae around the knee, and the physical examinations of the meniscus, medial and lateral collateral ligament, anterior and posterior cruciate ligament with posterolateral corner. The conceptual and systemic understanding of the anatomy and the physical examinations of the knee would be a compass or lighthouse for the physician providing medical care to the knee.

  • The isometric position for the graft is important in the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery. It is well known that the femoral position is more critical than tibial side. But, there is few deciding method of proper graft position after the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery. So we planned to evaluate the ideal femoral isometric position with 6 adult cadavaric femurs and exact radiographs. After the insertion of femoral interference screw on ideal isometric position, we obtained roentgenograms of true lateral view and 10, 20, 30, 45 degree internal and external rotation views. Then we measured the shortest distance from the posterior cortical margin of lateral femoral condyle to posterior border of interference screw on the radiographs. We also measured true distance between posterior cortical margin of lateral femoral condyle to the posterior margin of femoral tunnel after cutting of distal femur. Based on this study, we could not determine the permissible rotation degree of radiographs. But we concluded that if the distance between posterior cortical margin of lateral femoral condyle and posterior border of interference screw ranges 4.5-6.5mm on the lateral view, the femoral position is considered as a relatively ideal isometric good position.
