Measurements of the Intercondylar Notch by Plain Film Radiography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging

The purpose of this investigation was twofold. In Part I, we determined the accuracy of morphometric analysis of the knee using magnetic resonance imaging and plain film radiography. The results of Part I validated the accuracy of magnetic resonance measurements and its superiority over plain film m...

Description
Summary:The purpose of this investigation was twofold. In Part I, we determined the accuracy of morphometric analysis of the knee using magnetic resonance imaging and plain film radiography. The results of Part I validated the accuracy of magnetic resonance measurements and its superiority over plain film measurements. In Part II, we evaluated knee morphometry in 20 asymptomatic ath letes with chronic anterior cruciate ligament insuffi ciency to determine if any predisposing factors to an terior cruciate ligament disruption could be detected. With our analysis, we could detect no predisposing fac tors to explain the anterior cruciate ligament disruption in the cohort group.
