Increased lateral meniscal slope is associated with greater incidence of lateral bone contusions in noncontact ACL injury.
(1) To investigate whether an increased lateral meniscal slope measured on magnetic resonance image (MRI) would be associated with greater risk of bone contusions in noncontact anterior cruciate ligament injury, and (2) to measure the relationship between the occurrence of bone contusions and associated findings observed in ACL deficient knees such as cartilage damage, anterolateral complex injury and concomitant meniscal tears. ⋯ IV.
