109 results about "Anterior cruciate ligament" patented technology

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of a pair of cruciate ligaments (the other being the posterior cruciate ligament) in the human knee. The 2 ligaments are also called cruciform ligaments, as they are arranged in a crossed formation. In the quadruped stifle joint (analogous to the knee), based on its anatomical position, it is also referred to as the cranial cruciate ligament. The term cruciate translates to cross. This name is fitting because the ACL crosses the posterior cruciate ligament to form an “X”. It is composed of strong fibrous material and assists in controlling excessive motion. This is done by limiting mobility of the joint. The anterior cruciate ligament is one of the four main ligaments of the knee, providing 85% of the restraining force to anterior tibial displacement at 30 degrees and 90 degrees of knee flexion. The ACL is the most injured ligament of the four located in the knee.

Implant and method for repair of the anterior cruciate ligament

Described herein are methods and devices for use in repair of a patient's anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). These methods (and devices for performing them) allow the repair, rather than merely replacement, of the ACL. For example, described herein are anchoring devices that may be inserted into a bone and may anchor a scaffolding / support (e.g., graft) material within the bone so that the torn or damaged end of the ACL may be secured to the scaffolding / support material within the femoral notch. These anchoring devices and method of using them are particularly well suited for use with the continuous suture passers described herein, since these suture passers may allow access to previously inaccessible regions of the knee (or other body regions).

System and method for securing tissue to bone

Disclosed herein are methods and devices for securing soft tissue to a rigid material such as bone. A tissue anchoring device is described that comprises an anchor body and a spreader such that tissue may be captured or compressed between outside surfaces on the anchor and inside surfaces of a bone tunnel to secure the tissue within the tunnel. An anchoring device is described that comprises an anchor body having compressible tabs with teeth, and a spreader that forces the compressible tabs into an expanded state when inserted into anchor body, facilitating engagement between bone and the teeth of the compressible tabs. Also described is an inserter tool that can be used to insert the anchor into bone and move the spreader within the anchor to expand the anchor and capture the tissue between the anchor and the bone. Methods are described that enable use of the bone anchoring device to secure a tissue graft into the tibial and femoral bones during anterior cruciate ligament (“ACL”) reconstruction.

Silk ligament and preparation method thereof

InactiveCN102107021AACL mechanical properties are similarComply with ACL mechanical requirementsProsthesisHuman bodyLigament structure
The invention provides a silk ligament and a preparation method thereof, and relates to the field of prosthetic materials. The silk ligament is prepared from natural silk serving as raw materials by stranding, twisting, degumming and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) filling, and consists of lead wires (1), an inner core (2) and a core shell (3), wherein the lead wires (1), the inner core (2) and the core shell (3) are formed by weaving integrally; the core shell (3) is fixed on the middle part of the inner core (2); and the lead wires (1) are fixed at both ends of the inner core (2). Compared with the conventional artificial ligament, the mechanical property of the silk ligament are in stricter accordance with the properties of anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL) of human bodies, and after being filled with the BMP, the silk ligament rebuilding is more convenient.

Gait analysis method for auxiliary screening of injury of anterior cruciate ligament

The invention discloses a gait analysis method for auxiliary screening of injury of anterior cruciate ligament. The method comprises the following steps: based on the gait characteristics of the extracted knee joint angle and displacement, carrying out neural network modeling and identification on gait system dynamics of healthy normal persons and patients with injury of anterior cruciate ligament; establishing a constant neural network; constructing a dynamic estimator by utilizing the constant neural network; and based on the difference between gait modes of the healthy normal persons and the patients with injury of anterior cruciate ligament in gait system dynamics, distinguishing the abnormal gait caused by the injury of anterior cruciate ligament from the normal gait of the healthy persons according to the minimum error principle, thereby realizing auxiliary screening detection of the injury of anterior cruciate ligament. According to the invention, the gait characteristic data of the knee joint angle and displacement is acquired through an optical sensor, so that the abnormal gait caused by the injury of anterior cruciate ligament and the normal gait of the healthy persons can be conveniently, simply and non-intrusively distinguished; and compared with the screening means, such as magnetic resonance imaging and arthroscopic surgery, the method disclosed by the invention can realize non-invasive screening and can save time and cost.

Artificial knee joint replacement prosthesis capable of reserving or rebuilding anterior cruciate ligament

The invention discloses an artificial knee joint replacing prosthesis capable of reserving and rebuilding anterior cruciate ligament, in order to solve the problems that the existing artificial knee joint prosthesis technology can not reserve the healthy anterior cruciate ligament of the patient, or that even if reserving the anterior cruciate ligament, the anchoring area of the prosthesis and the tibiae part is reduced and the operation is difficult. The artificial knee joint replacing prosthesis comprises a tibiae platform holding part and a liner, the tibiae platform holding part comprises a horizontal stand and a fixed connection structure fixedly connecting the horizontal stand and the tibiae, the liner also has a channel for anterior cruciate ligament to pass through, the tibiae platform holding part is provided with a pore passage for penetrating upper and lower surfaces of the horizontal stand of the tibiae platform holding part, the size of the pore passage can be suitable for the imbedded anterior cruciate ligament and adhesive bone block thereof to pass through; the artificial knee joint replacing prosthesis also comprises an anti-disengage structure preventing the imbedded bone block from disengaging. The artificial knee joint replacing prosthesis of the invention not only can reserve or rebuild the anterior cruciate ligament, but also can reserve the large anchoring area, simultaneously the surgery operations is convenient.
