optimal graft angle the report by Howell SM, et al, the authors studied the angle of the tibial tunnel to graft function; 5 surgeons treated 119 subjects by reconstructing a torn ACL using a double-looped semitendinosus and gracilis graft and a standardized technique; radiographs were analyzed for tibial tunnel placement and a clinical evaluation was … Read more
optimal graft angle: in the report by Howell SM, et al, the authors studied the angle of the tibial tunnel to graft function; 5 surgeons treated 119 subjects by reconstructing a torn ACL using a double-looped semitendinosus and gracilis graft and a standardized technique; radiographs were analyzed for tibial tunnel placement and a clinical evaluation … Read more
– Graft Entry Point: – because the slope of the intercondylar notch will vary from 26 to 44 deg, the tibial tunnel should be accordingly positioned between the anterior third and the midpoint of the saggital length of the tibia; – referenced off the PCL: – this … Read more
– Determination of Graft Length: – if a “two incision – backdoor” technique is used, it is usually not necessary to measure graft length; – whether the graft is slightly long or slightly short, it is usually very easy to move the graft slightly proximally or distally (through both … Read more
(See also: Rotator cuff) origin: infraspinatus fossa of scapula insertion: posterior aspect of greater tuberosity of humerus, capsule of shoulder joint; demensions: infraspinatus has been shown to average 29 mm wide, with a mean medial-to-lateral width of 19 mm action: extension, horizontal extension and lateral rotation of humerus at the shoulder joint. the infraspinatus is the … Read more
