title: [The cruciate ligaments as the major mechanism of control of the movement of the knee joint].
abstract: The kinematics of the knee joint is considered with the special regard to the cruciate ligaments. An optimum place for the fixation of ligament substitute is calculated. Anatomic preparations of cadaver knee joints proved this predictions to be correct. Placing the ligament substitute at this place the ligaments behave isometrically.
