Telos laxity measurement
Explanation:
http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S096801609700247...

Using the KT 1000 arthrometer and Telos stress radiography, difference in anterior laxity between operated and non-injured knees was determined. Subjective functional assessment was done using the Cincinnati scoring system and Tegner activity level. Mean operated to non-injured difference in anterior laxity using KT 1000 was 2.49 mm (S.D. ±3.24) and mean operated to non-injured difference using Telos equipment was 2.77 mm (S.D. ±3.12).

Background Instrumented knee laxity testing devices have been used in both the clinical and research setting to evaluate persons with injuries about the knee. The ability to accurately and reproducibly quantify knee motion has the potential to greatly benefit both clinical practice and research by improving the validity of the research involving treatment of knee-ligament injuries.

Study Design Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4.

Methods A thorough literature review was performed, and a systematic overview is provided evaluating the methods of use and the evidence for the use of instrumented knee laxity testing devices.

Results Devices that provide measurements of knee laxity have evolved during the past 30 years. The authors describe in detail their proper use and the best estimates of their validity based on clinical studies.

Conclusion The review suggests that the KT-1000 knee arthrometer and the Rolimeter provide best results when testing anterior laxity at the knee, whereas the Telos device is superior for the assessment of posterior laxity.
