| Popis: | The purpose of the study was to determine the change in the graft bending angles at the femoral and tibial tunnel aperture in single-bundle posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction. It was hypothesized that different knee flexion and different tunnel directions may affect changes of the femoral and tibial graft bending angle. The right knees of 12 male subjects were scanned with a high-resolution computed tomography scanner at 4 different knee flexion angles (0°, 45°, 90° and 135°). To begin with, the 3D knee models were created and manipulated with the use of several modeling programs. Single-bundle PCL reconstruction was then virtually conducted in a 90° flexion model: The femoral and tibial graft bending angle, according to the various knee flexion angles, was calculated using a special software program. The femoral graft bending angle significantly decreased as the knee flexion increased between 0° and 135° (all p |
