Le tiroir antérieur est jugulé par l'appui de la tubérosité tibiale antérieure sur l'embrasse jambière. Des sangles ou un appui sous-rotulien peuvent compléter cette action. L'utilisation d’une articulation de type polycentrique permet d’obtenir un mouvement de glissement-roulement presque physiologique. 2, record 2, French, - articulation%20polycentrique
