Abstract
Articular contact pressures in ten cadaveric knees with intact ligaments were measured with the use of film and a model that simulated non-weight-bearing resistive extension of the knee. The measurements were repeated after sequential sectioning of the posterior cruciate ligament and the posKeywords
