Table 3 A comparison of internal tibial rotations predicted by FD models and experimentally measured results by Neri et al. [26] under 5Â Nm IR (internal rotation) torque
Knee state | Internal rotation (IR) range | |
|---|---|---|
|  | FD model (°) | Neri et al. [26] (°) |
Intact | 2.5 to 12 (range 9.5) | 0 to 12.1 (range 12.1) |
ACL-sectioned | 4.9 to 13.8 (range 8.9) | 2.5 to 14 (range 11.5) |
ACL-reconstructed alone (ACLR) | 4.4 to 12 (range 7.6) | 2 to 12.2 (range 10.2) |
ACLR combined with anterolateral ligament reconstruction (ACLR + ALLR) | 4.1 to 11 (range 6.9) | 0.5 to 12.1 (range 11.6) |
ACLR combined with MacIntosh reconstruction (ACLR + Mac) | 3.9 to 10.5 (range 6.6) | − 1 to 10.1 (range 11.1) |
ACLR combined with Ellison reconstruction (ACLR + Ell) | 3.9 to 12 (range 8.1) | 0.5 to 12.8 (range 12.3) |
ACLR combined with deep-Lemaire reconstruction (ACLR + DL) | 3.3 to 12.5 (range 9.2) | − 1.9 to 9.8 (range 11.7) |
Average of IR range (mean ± SD) | Range 8.1 ± 1.1 | Range 11.5 ± 0.7 |
