ABSTRACT
Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) rupture, whether or not combined with postero-lateral corner (PLC) tears, are more often diagnosed today thanks to improved imaging techniques. However, due to the lack of reliable instrumentation to quantitatively evaluate the knee, much is still unknown about the function of these ligamentous structures. The aim of this paper is to present results on the effect of progressive resection of the PCL and PLC on knee laxity and 3-D knee kinematics. The results show that 3-D movement analysis is important and complements laxity measurements by helping to interpret the complex alteration of knee function.
