Arthrometer Insights

Knee laxity refers to excessive looseness or instability of the knee joint, often resulting from ligamentous injury or degeneration. The knee joint relies on ligaments, tendons, and muscles to maintain stability and function. When these structures are compromised, abnormal movement patterns can occur, leading to pain, dysfunction, and an increased risk of further injury. Understanding

Introduction – How a 1995 Study Transformed ACL Treatment Forever Bercovy, Weber – 1995 For decades, laxity has been the gold standard for evaluating anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) integrity, offering a straightforward measure of joint instability. However, research by Bercovy et al. (1995) revealed that laxity provides only a static snapshot of tibial displacement, failing

Introduction In the evolving landscape of orthopaedic diagnostics, traditional tools like the KT1000 and KT2000 arthrometers are being eclipsed by robotic arthrometers such as DYNEELAX® and GNRB® . These advanced devices offer unparalleled precision, consistency, and functionality, setting new standards in the evaluation and treatment of knee ligament injuries.  This article explores why it’s time to upgrade KT1000/KT2000 to

Enhancing ACL Treatment from Injury to Recovery with Robotic Arthrometers Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries pose a significant challenge for both patients and healthcare providers. Traditional diagnostic and rehabilitation tools have offered limited insights into the complex biomechanical properties of the knee, often resulting in suboptimal outcomes. However, recent advancements with robotic arthrometers, particularly the DYNEELAX® and GNRB® systems,
