Fig. 2From: Effects of controlled abnormal joint movement on the molecular biological response in intra-articular tissues during the acute phase of anterior cruciate ligament injury in a rat modelExtra-articular braking model. In the CAM group, a 2–0 nylon suture was passed through the tibial bone tunnel posterior to the condyle of the distal end of the femur to control anterior tibial translation and was then tied to the joint to prevent abnormal tibial translation without restriction of knee flexion.
