Outline of Final Research Achievements

We clarified the insertions of the medial collateral ligament, posterior oblique ligament, lateral collateral ligament, popliteofibular ligament, and biceps femoris tendon and their related osseous landmarks on three-dimensional images. Additionally, we also clarified the insertions of the medial patellofemoral ligament and patella and their related osseous landmarks. These findings may improve understanding of the anatomy of their insertions and may assist surgeons in performing anatomical reconstructions to improve clinical results for the multiple ligament injuries and patella dislocation.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究により、今まで明らかにされていなかった膝関節の靱帯や腱の付着部位置情報を術前に把握し、手術中に正確に同定することが可能となり、複数の靭帯が同時に損傷される複合靭帯損傷や膝蓋骨脱臼の治療成績をより向上させることに寄与する。
