Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction follow-up instrumentation based on Centre of Rotation videofluoroscopy determination: Development of an original equipment, CINARTRO, and first clinical use

The estimation of the Centre of Rotation (COR) of the knee is important for Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction evaluation and therefore helps to put in place rehabilitation strategies, as well as to give feedback to the surgeon. The Tibial-Femoral Contact Point technique is implemented towards the design of an original clinical equipment (CINARTRO) which captures sequences of fluoroscopic Rx knee images during extension/flexion, allows interactive image processing and creates reports for the Electronic Clinical Record in CDA format. For the first time in our region, quantitative assessment of COR migration on the tibial plateau is possible.
