Abstract
Abstract Context ACL injury continues to be the largest single problem in orthopedic sports medicine. MRI has become the prime diagnostic tool of the various knee pathological and anatomical variability conditions. Aim To test the integrity of the new combined method for assessment of tibial plateau anatomic variables using conventional MRI. Settings and design Retrospective control study. Methods We evaluated the medial tibial plateau slope (MTPS), lateral tibial plateau slope (LTPS), and medial tibial plateau depth (MTPD) in ACL-injured group of patients (156) and non-ACL-injured control group (93) using MRI scan. Inclusion criteria for ACL-injured group—as surgically confirmed—were isolated ACL injury, while inclusion criteria for non-ACL-injured group were minor trauma, bruises, etc. Statistical analysis used Student’s t test and ICC were used. A p value of
