Patterns of Articular and Meniscal Lesions in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injured Knees
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
ACL is the commonest knee ligament to be injured especially in athletes1 . In contrast to other ligaments, ACL rarely heals into its anatomic or physiologic position and its deficiency results in suboptimal knee kinematics ; making it highly susceptible to further injury, chronic instability, and long-term degenerative changes2–5 . This occurs both at the time of index injury and also secondarily over time in the ACL-deficient knee4,6 . This Cross sectional study of arthroscopic ACL reconstruction done in 106 patients aged 15-50 yrs at government medical college Trivandrum, presents the spectrum of meniscal & chondral lesions in ACL deficient knees. The spectrum of chondral injuries varied from4.7% in trochlea to 17.9% in medial femoral condyle , with lateral femoral condyle 5.7%,medial tibial condyle 9.4%, patella 14.2% & lateral tibial condyle 17%. In meniscal injuries, 61.3%had associated lateral meniscal tears as compared to 55.7 % of medial meniscal tears. Longitudinal tears (62.71%) were more common in medial meniscus, whereas complex tears (38.46%) were common in lateral meniscus.
