Is Medial Tibial Slope Associated With Non-contact ACL Tears? AnAnalysis Of Primary And Revision Acl Reconstruction Patients

摘要

Objectives:Increased tibial slope (TS) may be associated with non-contact ACL injuries although potential confounding effects from various patient characteristics and radiographic quantification methods have not been rigorously studied. The association of TS with recurrent non-contact ACL injury after primary reconstruction is less defined. The purpose of this study was: 1) to assess the reliability and variability of TS values among different examiners, and 2) to compare TS between patients undergoing primary ACL reconstruction, re-injured patients undergoing revision ACL reconstruction, and an ACL-intact cohort.
