Psychiatrical
Impulsivity
- The involved limb knee adduction moment impulse of the group with osteoarthritis was also lower than that of the group without osteoarthritis at baseline (0.087 0.023 N·m·s/kg·m [nonOA] vs 0.049 0.018 N·m·s/kg·m [OA], P .023).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- The peak normalized strain was 30% larger for the impulsive compression loading in valgus and flexion compared with impulsive compression loading in isolated flexion, suggesting the risk of a valgus landing position.[omicsonline.org]
Distractibility
- Preventive programs to enhance knee control should focus on avoiding valgus motion and include distractions resembling those seen in match situations.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurologic
Confusion
- There is confusion in the literature as to how long these bony lesions remain, but it has been reported that they can persist on MRI for years. [42] Rehabilitation and the long-term prognosis may be affected in those patients with extensive bony and associated[physio-pedia.com]
Workup
- They are most frequently used for the diagnosis of a complete ACL tear when other workup is equivocal, in conjunction with history and clinical exam findings.[doi.org]
Treatment
- Treatment options: treatments to suit you You’ll usually need to go to A&E with this kind of injury. You may then be referred to an acute knee clinic, which will organise any investigations and treatment you need.[bupa.co.uk]
- This is an important factor and part of the discussion when weighing the options for ACL treatment.[hopkinsmedicine.org]
- Arthroscopic refreshing treatment of patients with anterior cruciate ligament injury combined with stable ramp lesion can achieve similar clinical curative effects as the Fast-fix suture, thereby providing a simple alternative for patient treatment worth[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- […] at Penn Treatment for ACL injuries can vary depending on a patient's needs.[pennmedicine.org]
- Next, a separate, multidisciplinary Voting Panel made up of specialists and nonspecialists rated the appropriateness of treatment of each patient scenario using a 9-point scale to designate a treatment as Appropriate (median rating, 7 to 9), May Be Appropriate[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
- When the norm is for all professional footballers to be recommended surgery, it will be very challenging when circumstances and patient autonomy dictate a conservative approach, where prognosis, end points and risk are unclear and assumed to be high.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology
- Because of the elevated contraction of the quadriceps femoris muscle during physical activity, an increased strain is placed onto the ACL due to the "tibial translation anteriorly". [18] Pathophysiology [ edit ] The knee joint is formed by three bones[en.wikipedia.org]
