A Computational Modeling Approach for Investigating Soft Tissue Balancing in Bicruciate Retaining Knee Arthroplasty

Table 3

For each individual ligament bundle the values of relative importance (RIM) calculated for various components of laxity were compared and ranked from 1 to 5 in the table. Number 5 and black cells identify the loading condition for which changes in the corresponding ligament bundle have the highest relative importance. Smaller numbers and lighter color cells correspond with smaller RIM. The AP, IE, and VV on the left column refer to the anterior-posterior, internal-external, and varus-valgus axes, and the numbers in front of these letters indicate the corresponding flexion angle (e.g., AP-30: anterior-posterior laxity test at 30° flexion). For ligament name abbreviations refer to the description of Table 1.
