Abstract:
A small degree of increased varus laxity in acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-disrupted knees often can be discovered on initial examination. Why this occurs is not always clear and is usually thought to be related to some degree of fibular collateral ligament injury. However, there may be another structure that demands our attention in an ACL-deficient knee with more laxity than isolated ACL injuries but less laxity than combined ACL and fibular collateral ligament injuries. That structure is the anterolateral complex, including the anterolateral ligament, the iliotibial band, and quite importantly, Kaplan fibers.

When a rod is under axial loading, the internal forces and corresponding stress are normal to the plane of the section, so it is termed normal stress. It's...

The process begins by slicing the tube at critical points and analyzing the internal forces and stress components at these sections, focusing on the centroid. Normal stresses, generated by axial forces and bending moments, are either compressive or tensile and vary across the section from...
