The size of tibial footprint of anterior cruciate ligament and association with physical characteristics in Asian females

摘要

The tibial footprint is important for preoperative planning of operative technique and graft selection. Knowledge of tibial footprint in Asians is scant including the relationship between tibial footprint and physical characteristics. The aim of this study was to identify the size of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tibial footprint and the proportion of size < 14 mm, and to evaluate the association of tibial footprint with physical characteristics in Asian females.
