The effect of axial rotation between the femoral neck and ankle joint (total rotation [TR]) on normal knees is unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the TR effect on normal knee kinematics.
Volunteers were divided into groups large (L), intermediate (I), and small (S), using hierarchical cluster analysis based on TR in the standing position. TR was measured using three-dimensional (3D) bone models generated from CT. A two-dimensional to 3-dimensional registration technique was used to assess the spatial position and femur and tibia orientation during squat. The axial rotation, varus-valgus alignment, and anterior-posterior translation of the femur relative to the tibia were evaluated.
Group L had the highest TR, whereas group S had the lowest TR (L: 36.6° ± 6.0°, I: 23.2° ± 3.0°, and S: 13.8° ± 5.1°). Above 50° of flexion, femoral external rotation was greater in group S than in groups L and I. From 40° to 110°, the medial side was more anterior in group L than in groups I and S, whereas the lateral side was more posterior in group S than in groups L and I.
Individuals with larger TR had more femur anterior-medial translation relative to the tibia.
股骨颈与踝关节之间的轴向旋转(总旋转 [TR])对正常膝关节的影响尚不清楚。因此,本研究旨在探讨TR对正常膝关节运动学的影响。
基于站立位的TR,采用分层聚类分析将志愿者分为大(L)、中(I)、小(S)三组。使用CT生成的三维(3D)骨模型测量TR。采用二维到三维配准技术评估深蹲过程中股骨和胫骨的空间位置及方向。评估了股骨相对于胫骨的轴向旋转、内翻-外翻对线以及前后平移。
L组的TR最高,而S组的TR最低(L组:36.6°±6.0°,I组:23.2°±3.0°,S组:13.8°±5.1°)。在屈曲超过50°时,S组的股骨外旋大于L组和I组。从40°到110°,L组的内侧比I组和S组更靠前,而S组的外侧比L组和I组更靠后。
TR较大的个体,其股骨相对于胫骨的前内侧平移更多。
