Stress Radiography Is a Reliable Method to Quantify Posterior Cruciate Ligament Insufficiency: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To perform a systematic review of posterior tibial stress radiography techniques and radiographic measurement methods to compare their accuracy and efficacy to aid clinicians in quantifying posterior cruciate ligament laxity.

Methods

Electronic databases, including PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase.com 1947- , Ovid Medline 1946- , Scopus 1823- , Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and Clinicaltrials.gov 1997- were queried in December 2020. The abstracts of articles were reviewed by 2 authors for published studies comparing posterior tibial stress radiography techniques, describing, and comparing radiographic measurement methods, and comparing stress radiographs with instrumented knee testing.

Results

The systematic review included 13 studies that s
