Keywords:
Knee, Trauma, Tear, Instability, Angle, Pain, TibiaAbstract
Background: Knee joint is one of the largest joints in the body which solely is responsible for supporting the foremost weight of the body. Anterior Cruciate Ligament plays a primary role in stabilizing the knee joints, which also increases its chances of risk. Therefore, in comparison to other ligaments Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury can more commonly lead to knee instability. Aims & Objectives. To study and correlate femoral intercondylar notch width and shape on Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Anterior Cruciate Ligament injuries. Further, to study relationship of posterior tibial slopes of medial and lateral plateaus and depth of the medial tibial plateau with Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury on Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Materials & Methods: Patients with clinical suspicion of Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury undergoing Magnetic Resonance Imaging knee at M.S. Ramaiah hospitals, Bengaluru in the period of November 2019 to June 2021. Medial and Lateral Tibial Plateau Slope, Medial Tibial Plateau Depth, Notch Width Index were recorded along with other data such as age, gender, etiology, Lachman test, presence or absence of tears, shape of notch and other relevant data.
