Radiologic determination of rotational instability of the knee joint.
A method for measuring rotational instability of the knee joint at radiography is described. Together with determination of sagittal instability the method might well serve as a simple guide in choosing the appropriate technique for surgery. It also enables an assessement of the operative results, since the method is simple and reproducible.
