The relationship between posterior tibial slope and anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to identify an increased posterior tibial slope as a possible risk factor for anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Material And Methods: Sixty patients were divided into two groups (with and without anterior cruciate ligament rupture). The posterior tibial slope on the lateral and medial condyles was measured by sagittal magnetic resonance imaging slices by means of computerized method using circles to determine tibial axis.
