Chronic anterior cruciate ligament deficient knees with cartilage lesions have increased posterior tibial translation compared to anterior cruciate ligament deficient knees without cartilage lesions and healthy subjects. The posterior tibial translation may play an important role in knee cartilage degeneration in ACLD knees. The increased posterior tibial translation and cartilage lesion characteristics may improve our understanding of the role of knee kinematics in cartilage degeneration and could be a helpful potential reference for anterior cruciate ligament deficient therapy, such as physical training to improve abnormal kinematic behavior.
