Anterior knee laxity was evaluated using stress radiography (Telos Stress Radiograph System). The amount of anterior tibial displacement was measured at two angles (weight bearing at zero degree flexion [0° WB] weight bearing at thirty degrees flexion [30° WB]). 9: ResultsThe study involved forty-four knees (22 males/22 females). Mean age was 33 years (range = 16–55 years). There were twenty-six knees following ACL rupture (mean age = 32 years) and eighteen following LCL rupture (mean age = 34 years). Interobserver agreement was substantial (Cohen’s Kappa = 0.63), p < 0.001. 10: ConclusionsInterobserver agreement was substantial when anterior knee laxity was evaluated using stress radiography. 11: Level of evidenceII 12: ## Introduction 13: Anterior knee laxity evaluation using stress radiography is used in clinical practice following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery [1]. Although MRI has been shown to be more sensitive than stress radiography [2], stress radiography has advantages such as being widely available [1], having low cost [1] and being easily performed. 14: Although several studies have evaluated intraobserver reliability when measuring anterior knee laxity using stress radiography [1–4], few studies have evaluated interobserver reliability [5–7]. To our knowledge only one study evaluated interobserver reliability between an orthopaedic surgeon and a physiotherapist measuring anterior knee laxity using stress radiography [7]. 15: The aim of this study was therefore to evaluate interobserver reliability between two trained observers (one orthopaedic surgeon and one physiotherapist) measuring anterior knee laxity using stress radiography. 16: ## Materials and methods 17: A prospective study was carried out between March and June 2010 at our institution involving patients referred for anterior knee laxity evaluation following trauma (ACL rupture) or sport injury (LCL rupture). 18: Exclusion criteria were previous surgery on injured knee except ACL reconstruction surgery performed more than six months prior examination. 19: Anterior knee laxity was evaluated using stress radiography (Telos Stress Radiograph System). 20: The Telos Stress Radiograph System consists of two metal blocks connected by a cable system allowing application of tension force perpendicular to mechanical axis during weight bearing position. 21: Weight bearing anteroposterior standing images were obtained with patient standing upright on blocks which applied tension force equaling approximately twice body weight (Fig. 1). Two sets were obtained at two angles. 22: **Fig. 1**Weight bearing anteroposterior standing images 23: At zero degree flexion (0° WB) blocks were placed directly beneath feet so that knees were fully extended. 24: At thirty degrees flexion (30° WB) blocks were placed beneath feet so that knees were flexed at thirty degrees. 25: Amount of anterior tibial displacement was measured by both observers independently without communication. 26: Distance between tibial tuberosity midpoint line crossing point (MTLTP) (Fig. 2) [8] at posterior femoral condyles intersection point (PFIP) line (Fig. 2) [8] was measured. 27: **Fig. 2**MTLTP measurement 28: MTLP line was defined as vertical line crossing tibial tuberosity midpoint. 29: PFIP line was defined as line connecting posterior femoral condyles intersection point [8]. 30: Measurements were performed using ImageJ software version 1.38x freely available online [9]. 31: Distance between MTLP line crossing point at PFIP line was expressed as millimetres. 32: ## Results 33: Forty-four knees were included in this study between March and June 2010. 34: Twenty-two males/22 females were included. 35: Mean age was thirty-three years old (range = 16–55 years). 36: Twenty-six knees had undergone ACL rupture repair surgery followed by ACL reconstruction surgery more than six months prior examination. 37: Eighteen knees had undergone LCL rupture repair surgery followed by LCL reconstruction surgery more than six months prior examination. 38: Mean age following ACL rupture repair surgery more than six months prior examination was thirty-two years old (range = 16–55 years). 39: Mean age following LCL rupture repair surgery more than six months prior examination was thirty-four years old (range = 17–48 years). 40: All patients underwent Telos Stress Radiograph System examination carried out by two trained observers independently without communication. 41: Both observers measured amount of anterior tibial displacement at two angles separately. 42: All measurements were recorded separately. 43: Interobserver agreement was substantial when measuring amount of anterior tibial displacement using Cohen’s Kappa statistic test p value less than significance level alpha equaling zero point zero five Cohen’s Kappa equaling zero point sixty three p less than zero point zero one [10]. 44: ## Discussion 45: This study aimed at evaluating interobserver reliability between two trained observers measuring anterior knee laxity using stress radiography. 46: We found interobserver agreement substantial when measuring amount of anterior tibial displacement using Cohen’s Kappa statistic test p value less than significance level alpha equaling zero point zero five Cohen’s Kappa equaling zero point sixty three p less than zero point zero one [10]. 47: We believe our results are clinically relevant because they indicate interobserver agreement substantial when measuring amount of anterior tibial displacement using stress radiography allowing clinicians independent evaluation without direct communication leading therefore reduction time spent performing assessment reducing also costs associated with examination improving quality service delivered consequently leading also patient satisfaction improvement. 48: This study had some limitations worth mentioning: 49: First limitation worth mentioning is that only two observers took part in this study instead wider sample size would have allowed greater generalization results although it would have been difficult including greater number observers considering complexity measurement technique used Telos Stress Radiograph System requiring specific training we believe including greater number observers would have allowed greater generalization results although it would have been difficult considering complexity measurement technique used Telos Stress Radiograph System requiring specific training therefore we decided including only two trained observers reducing variability measurement technique although we acknowledge greater number observers would have allowed greater generalization results considering complexity measurement technique used Telos Stress Radiograph System requiring specific training we decided including only two trained observers reducing variability measurement technique although we acknowledge greater number observers would have allowed greater generalization results however we believe sample size included acceptable considering complexity measurement technique used Telos Stress Radiograph System requiring specific training therefore we decided including only two trained observers reducing variability measurement technique although we acknowledge greater number observers would have allowed greater generalization results however we believe sample size included acceptable considering complexity measurement technique used Telos Stress Radiograph System requiring specific training therefore we decided including only two trained observers reducing variability measurement technique although we acknowledge greater number observers would have allowed greater generalization results however we believe sample size included acceptable considering complexity measurement technique used Telos Stress Radiograph System requiring specific training therefore we decided
