The second purpose was to compare the characteristics from the regional analysis of the anterior knee laxity between the two subject groups in order to explore proper diagnosis criteria. Methods: Seventy-one patients with unilateral ACL tear and eighty healthy controls were enrolled and their anterior knee laxities were tested using the KT-2000 arthrometer. The displacements and stiffness of the three regions were extracted separately and compared between groups to further develop the diagnostic criteria. Results: The results indicated that the laxity behavior was mostly affected in Region 2 and Region 3 after ACL tear. Two good indicators for ACL tear were found in the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis: Region 2 with the displacement larger than 3.7 mm and Region 3 with the stiffness smaller than 22 N/mm. These two criteria provided a better diagnostic accuracy with increased sensitivity. Conclusions: The regional analysis method developed in this study could provide more information for understanding the characteristics of the anterior knee laxity and help increase the diagnostic accuracy for ACL rupture.
