Abstract
Introduction. Intensive way of life, sport activities such as running or contact sport games, where intensive pivotal movements are, carries the risk of rupture of anterior cruciate ligment (ACL) of the knee. ACL tears are one of the most common knee injuries and effective physical examination is essential of successful diagnosis to choose treatment of complex ligament injuries. Diagnosis is based on clinical examination performing Lachman, pivot shift or drawer tests in comparison with uninjured knee. Anterior cruciate ligament function is to prevent excessive anterior translation of the tibia relative to femur. Abnormal anterior tibial translation is the basis for clinical diagnosis of an ACL-deficient knee using earlier mentioned tests or using arthrometers. Lachman test and Pivot shift test are reliable in case of complete ACL tear but reveals in case of partial tears. Also optimal joint laxity testing requires that an appropriate and known force be applied to the joint segment being moved this load should be applied at a consistent speed and perpendicular to the moved segment. In Kaunas Clinics we use GNRB® (GenouRob, Laval, France) arthrometer, which meet earlier mentioned testing criteria. The aim of this study was to evaluate the BMI, age and graft diameter influence to recovery results (using GNRB® system) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery. [...].
