<p>The knee joint analyzer has means (34) for fixing the thigh and femoral condyles and means (36) for fixing the foot and malleoli of the patient. Said fixing means (36) are connected to an axial load and torque loading mechanism (37) for applying incremental loads and torques to the knee joint via load and torque transducers (2, 3, 4) which can be continuously measured, amplified and registered on a plotter (21) allowing the assessment of translational stability in the sagittal and coronal planes and rotational stability in the coronal and transverse planes of the knee joint of the patient.</p> |
