Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on understanding the risks of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries by examining the shape of the femoral condyle and comparing it with tibial factors in a South Indian population.
- Conducted on 80 patients aged 18 to 60, the study separates participants into two groups: 40 with non-contact ACL injuries and 40 with intact ACLs, measuring various parameters like lateral femoral condyle index and tibial slopes.
- The results indicate that while the lateral femoral condyle index wasn't a significant predictor of ACL injuries, a higher lateral tibial slope was found to be a more reliable risk factor compared to other measurements.
