Abstract

The anterior cruciate ligament is the weaker of the two cruciate ligaments stabilizing the knee joint, and therefore gets torn easier than the posterior cruciate ligament. Reconstruction of ACL and restoration of musculoskeletal function is a fundamental goal of orthopaedic treatment. This study was conducted to determine pattern of anterior cruciate ligament injury and its management in a tertiary care center and to assess the long term outcome of knee function after anterior cruciate Ligament reconstruction. 28 patients with ACL injury were included. In this study. A detailed history regarding the pattern of injury was noted and ACL reconstruction was done using BT Bone graft with mini-arthrotomy and arthroscopic assisted ACL reconstruction. The clinical follow-up evaluation was done following the surgery and postoperative rehabilitation. International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) and Lysholm Score were used to assess the functional outcome. The mean age of the study subjects was 30.6±7.3 years and majority were males. Majority of the ACL injury was sports related and was on the right knee. 64% underwent arthroscopic assisted ACL reconstruction; majority of them had normal range of motion of the knee. According to the IKDC rating scale, 80% of the patients had normal or nearly normal final outcome. The mean Lysholm score was 80. About 10 of the patients had anterior knee pain, as classified by the IKDC. Patients with early reconstruction had less degenerative changes in the tibiofemoral joint, were subjectively more satisfied to the result, and could return to the pre-injury level of activities. Our present study concludes that most common age group involved was 20-30 years and ACL injury was more common among males. Patients with an early ACL reconstruction were more satisfied with the end result. Also, ACL reconstruction techniques using BTB auto graft leads to good ligamentous stability and function of the knee. Mild anterior knee pain and osteoarthritis after reconstruction was a common finding.

Abstract

Engineering of the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) requires one to take a holistic approach that includes the physical modeling and analysis of the missile defense operating environment, development of metrics and techniques to analyze the communication requirements of the net-centric Ballistic Missile Defense warfare, and the use of architectural patterns and other software technologies to shape the emergent behavior of the BMDS taking into account of the system's interoperability, composability, extensibility, and dynamic reconfigurability. This report summarizes the work in FY07 to investigate new technologies to support the development of the BMDS. We developed new scoring functions for the fusion of sensor data, an algorithm for multiple hypothesis tracking, a distributed medium access control protocol and data dissemination algorithm for wireless networks of cooperative radar systems, simulation models for network-centric electronic warfare metrics study and for the prediction of the over the horizon radar system footprints, technologies for the correct specification and validation of temporal behaviors in a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) based system-of-systems, runtime verification of system-level requirements of distributed reactive systems using MSC-Assertions, and safety assurance of reconfigurable and selfreconfigurable systems. We also evaluated the effectiveness of the real-time Java technology for BMDS software and the potential impact of integrating the Air Force YAL-1A Attack Laser into the BMDS., Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.
