A quantitative method for assessing the kinematics of the knee in the sagittal plane has been developed in order to evaluate the role of the anterior cruciate ligament following injury and reconstruction. Measurements were made on a series of lateral radiographs obtained at different angles of flexion with the limb weight-bearing and the foot and ankle rotated so that the condyles of the femur overlapped. The kinematics of the joint were then defined by recording the path of the tip of the medial tibial spine as flexion proceeded, using a coordinate system based on the femur. This method overcomes the problems inherent in quantifying knee kinematics by using the pathway of the centre of rotation. In an amputated knee, tibial positions could be specified to within approximately 1.2 mm. There were no significant differences between results obtained at the beginning and end of a six month period for the normal knees of two patients; the standard deviation of the measured tibial positions was approximately 1.6 mm.
