ARANGO GARCIA, GASTÓN; PRADO GARCIA, OLGA E  e  MENDEZ FORNARIS, ANTONIO. Arthrometer of the knee for injuries of the cruciate ligaments (do-it-yourself). Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 1998, vol.12, n.1-2, pp.81-83. ISSN 0864-215X.

A method to make an anthrometer that is used to measure the anteroposterior inestabilities of the knee at the Orthopedic Services with low purchasing power is presented. The material used is very economic since it is made of aluminum strips with different width, thickness and length according to the parts, and of rivets and cloth strips with buckles to hold the device to the lower limb.
