Posterior tibial translation resulting from the posterior drawer manoeuver in cadaveric knee specimens: a systematic review

PURPOSE: The purpose of this systematic review of cadaver-based biomechanical studies is to accurately quantify how much posterior tibial translation occurs during posterior drawer testing in normal and PCL-deficient knees. METHODS: A search of the electronic databases, MEDLINE and EMBASE, was performed to identify relevant cadaveric studies that reported posterior tibial translation during posterior drawer testing. Studies were combined to …
