Are there many things simpler than a rope? I can remember at the beginning of my career when most clinicians viewed the anterior cruciate ligament as a static check rein that contributed to the mechanical four-bar cross linkage roll/glide mechanism of the knee joint. It was purely a mechanical view of the ligament, which was viewed basically as a ‘rope’ that sometimes broke in the knee. We woefully underestimated its neurologic, biological and psychological impact when injured. The situation was far from as simple as we perceived it. As orthopaedists, we are not alone in our failure to appreciate the complexity of the human body and the power of the poorly understood mind–body interaction. |
