A comparison of isokinetics and muscle strength ratios following intra-articular and extra-articular reconstructions of the anterior cruciate ligament

A prospective, randomized clinical trial was conducted to compare an intra-articular with an extra-articular reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament. Isokinetic muscle testing was carried out 6 months to 2 years following operation using the Biodex isokinetic dynamometer. The extra-articula...

Zusammenfassung:	A prospective, randomized clinical trial was conducted to compare an intra-articular with an extra-articular reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament. Isokinetic muscle testing was carried out 6 months to 2 years following operation using the Biodex isokinetic dynamometer. The extra-articular procedure resulted in a lower deficit for the peak quadriceps and hamstring torques and the range of motion.
