All the menisco-ligamentary structures of the medial plane play a significant role in controlling anterior tibial translation and tibial rotation of the knee. Cadaveric study of 29 knees with the Dyneelax® laximeter.

The ligamentous structures of the medial plane constitute a functional unit in which each component has a specific passive contribution. This study highlights the importance of recognising the extent of the medial ligament tears and performing a medial side anatomic and individual reconstruction and a suture of a ramp lesion, in addition to an ACL surgery.
