dc.description.abstractIntroduction: To measure the medial and lateral posterior tibial slopes separately on conventional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and to investigate whether this method can be used in the prediction of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture.Methods: This study included 31 consecutive patients with a definitive diagnosis of isolated ACL rupture and 31 healthy subjects. The medial and lateral posterior tibial slopes, intercondylar notch distance, notch width index (NWI), distal femur width, medial and lateral condylar width and depth were measured by MRI in both groups. The difference between patients with ACL rupture and controls were studied using the Student’s t-test.Results: The lateral posterior tibial slope and lateral condylar depth measurements were significantly higher, and the distal femur width was lower in the group with ACL rupture when compared to controls (p<0.005).Discussion and Conclusion: MRI is the modality to measure lateral and medial tibial slopes separately. A combination of increased lateral posterior tibial slope, lateral condylar depth and decreased distal femur width could be a risk factor in ACL rupture.en_US
