Loading patterns of the Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) and Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) in healthy knees. A systematic review
Loading patterns of the collateral ligaments of the knee have been investigated using a variety of techniques. Aggregating the available data reported by single studies in a systematic review can provide a clear unbiased consensus on the loading of the collateral ligaments.
Loading patterns of the collateral ligaments of the knee have been investigated using a variety of in vitro, in vivo, and modellig approaches. However, a systematic review that provides a clear unbiased consensus on the loading of the collateral ligaments is still missing.
This project therefore aims to generate science-based evidence for understanding the functional loading of the MCL and LCL, during activities of daily living, through systematic review and statistical analysis of the literature. Databases will be searched for articles containing any numerical strain or force data on the healthy MCL and LCL. Statistical analyses will be performed on the reported load data to extract average strain and force trends of the ligaments and identify possible deviations from the norm. Additionally, average load patterns extracted from articles using different methods will be compared to investigate if the load patterns of the ligaments are affected by the choice of assessment technique.
