摘要：Abstract We analyzed the effects of bicruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty (BCR-TKA) on knee kinematics and cruciate ligament forces. Patients (N = 15) with osteoarthritis (OA) and an intact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) underwent magnetic resonance imaging and single-plane fluoroscopy to measure tibiofemoral kinematics during two deep knee bend activities before and after BCR-TKA: (1) weight-bearing squat; (2) non-weight-bearing cross-legged sitting. Forces in ligament bundles were calculated using VivoSim. The dynamic range of varus-valgus angulation decreased from 3.9 ± 4.4° preoperatively to 2.2 ± 2.7° postoperatively. Preoperatively, the medial femoral condyle translated anteriorly from 10° to 50° of flexion, and posteriorly beyond 50° of flexion. Postoperatively, the medial and lateral femoral condyles translated posteriorly throughout flexion in a medial pivot pattern. ACL forces were high in extension and decreased with flexion pre- and postoperatively. PCL forces increased with flexion preoperatively and did not change significantly postoperatively. Preoperatively, ACL forces correlated with anteroposterior translation of the femoral condyles. Postoperatively, PCL forces correlated with anteroposterior translation of the lateral femoral condyle. BCR-TKA altered knee kinematics during high flexion activity which correlated significantly with changes in cruciate ligament forces.
