Increased tibial rotation found in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)deficient patients
Researchers writing in the Clinical Journal of Sport Medicine investigated if the increased tibial rotation found in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-deficient patients before surgery is restored 2 years after the reconstruction, during 2 high-demanding activities.


Ristanis S, Stergiou N, Patras K, Tsepis E, Moraiti C, Georgoulis AD. Follow-up evaluation 2 years after ACL reconstruction with bone-patellar tendon-bone graft shows that excessive tibial rotation persists. Clin J Sport Med. 2006 Mar;16(2):111-6.


"The increased tibial rotation found in the ACL-deficient knees was not restored with reconstruction using a BPTB graft, even 2 years postoperatively. The authors propose that this excessive tibial rotation over time may lead to further deterioration of the knee resulting from abnormal loading at areas of the cartilage that are not commonly loaded in a healthy knee."
