Abstract

A study was performed to determine the ability of one and two bundle reconstructions to control posterior translation, and to determine how femoral attachment location affect bundle tension. The study was performed using 7 unembalmed human lower limbs. In general, both two-bundle reconstructions were able to control posterior translation over the entire range of motion, but the choice of configuration had an effect on how the bundles were tensioned.
