Measurement of knee-joint instabilities in the anterior-posterior plane.
The documentation of instabilities of the knee joint in sagittal direction by X-rays is usually inexact and incomplete by lack of rotational exertion. With a simple appliance instabilities of the knee joint in sagittal direction can be measured in mm within the examination. The difference between the injured and uninjured knee may show the importance of an instability of the knee joint.
