About

Fabio V. Arilla is a leading researcher in orthopaedic biomechanics, with a primary focus on knee joint function, ligament injuries, and surgical reconstruction techniques. His work centers on developing and refining experimental methods to evaluate knee stability and kinematics, particularly in the context of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. Arilla’s major contributions include advancing the understanding of the pivot-shift test, a critical clinical assessment for rotational knee instability. His highly cited 2015 systematic review, “Experimental Execution of the Simulated Pivot‐Shift Test,” synthesized over three decades of in vitro techniques, providing a foundational reference for researchers and clinicians. With 36 citations, this work has shaped standardized approaches to simulating and measuring knee instability in cadaveric models. Additionally, his 2015 paper on a novel technique for continuous knee function evaluation through range of flexion (20 citations) introduced an innovative method for assessing dynamic joint behavior, offering more comprehensive insights than traditional static measurements. Arilla’s research has directly impacted surgical planning and rehabilitation protocols, making him a respected voice in orthopaedic biomechanics and a valuable resource for students and researchers exploring knee mechanics and ligament injury outcomes.
