| Abstract | To diagnose an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, clinicians perform a Lachman test at 30 degrees of flexion or a Drawer test at 90 degrees of flexion to record how far the tibia displaces anteriorly with respect to the femur. A study was undertaken to characterize the normal strain pattern of the ACL in vivo during the Lachman and Drawer tests, and to determine if there is a significant difference between the strain patterns at clinically applied load levels. Five patients were studied. After routine arthroscopic surgery a Hall-effect displacement transducer was attached arthroscopically to the ACL to measure strain. Loads were applied by a hand-held load cell in a transverse plane directed through the midtibial tuberosity at flexion angles of 90 degrees and 30 degrees . The difference in percentage strain between the Lachman and Drawer tests was highly significant at p<0.01 level. These results clearly show that the Lachman test produces a greater elongation or strain in the ACL in comparison to the Drawer test at loads to 35 lb. From these data the authors characterize the normal ACL strain pattern.< |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
