Abstract
The anterior cruciate ligament in the knee connects the femur to the tibia and is often torn during a sudden twisting motion, resulting in knee instability. Effective treatment is with surgery where the ligament is replaced with a piece of healthy tendon grafted into place to hold the knee joint together. Employing a novel repair device, models for the repaired and for the intact knee are developed to evaluate the efficacy of the design the device.
