Navigation offers the ability to accurately measure 6 degree-of-freedom knee kinematics in real time. Complex instabilities, such as the pivot shift, can be assessed with differentiation of the rotational and translation components. This objective analysis may allow the surgeon to customise reconstructive surgery. Procedures, such as lateral extra-articular plasty, may be indicated if rotational laxity persists after standard ACL reconstruction.
