Prospective changes in the knee joint center of rotation relative to the contralateral knee and over time provide a comprehensive view of kinematic changes following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction M.

Figure 1. Medial-lateral and anterior-posterior position of the average knee COR of the contralateral and ACLR knees at nominal 2 year and 4 year follow-up after ACL reconstruction. Lateral and anterior directions are reported as positive values. *Indicates significant differences (P<0.05) for cross-sectional and/or longitudinal comparisons.

Figure 2. Correlation between changes in the anterior-posterior position of knee COR and changes in peak KFM from the nominal 2 year test to the 4 year follow-up. An anterior shift in COR over time is reported as a positive change in COR. Similarly, an increased KFM over time is reported as a positive change in KFM.
