Description
Summary:An abstract of a study by Wang et al examining in-vivo anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) morphometric characteristics, ACL structural composition, femoral notch width, and anterior knee laxity between ACLR and healthy individuals is presented. Results showed that ACLR individuals had smaller ACL size and a narrower femoral notch size than healthy individuals. It suggest that ACL and notch size should be considered when investigation of the ACL injury risk factors.
