In  Vivo Kinematics and Cruciate Ligament Tension Are Not Restored to Normal After Bicruciate-Preserving Arthroplasty

Whether cruciate ligament forces in cruciate-preserving designs, such as unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) or bi-cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty (BCR-TKA), differ from those in normal knees remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to compare the in  vivo kinematics and cruciate ligament force in knees before and after UKA or BCR-TKA to those in normal knees during high-flexion activity.
