Objective: To investigate in vivo if the increased tibial rotation found in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-deficient patients before surgery is restored 2 years after the reconstruction, during 2 high-demanding activities.
Design: Prospective follow-up study.
Setting: A gait analysis laboratory.
Participants: Nine subjects with unilateral ACL rupture, reconstructed with a bone–patellar tendon–bone (BPTB) graft, and 10 healthy control subjects.
Interventions: All the ACL-deficient patients underwent a unilateral ACL reconstruction after prereconstruction data acquisition.
Main Outcome Measurements: Using a 6-camera motion analysis system, kinematics were collected as subjects (1) descended from a stair and, after foot …
