Number of intra-operative cyclic knee motion required to achieve stable graft tension in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction; a prospective clinical study

Number of intra-operative cyclic knee motion required to achieve stable graft tension in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction; a prospective clinical study

Abstract Background Applying pretension by cyclic knee motion immediately before graft fixation in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery decreases graft elongation during the postoperative course. However, the expected change in graft tension caused by cyclic knee motion remains un...
