Comparison of Size of Posterior Tibial Slope and Medial Tibial Depth in Patients With an Isolated Meniscal Tear Requiring Surgery and Matched Uninjured Controls.

Background: Meniscal injuries are extremely common. Several anatomic features of the knee, including the tibial plateau morphology, have been shown to influence knee biomechanics and the risk of ligamentous injuries. Little is known, however, how these morphological features influence the risk of isolated meniscal injuries in the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-intact knee.
