elongation

of the ACL as is the case in a (a)

interstitial tear or a (b) single bundle tear or

(2) an initial

complete rupture of the ACL that

has partially scarred

to the (a) notch or (b) on

the PCL (Table 2). Functionally, both situa-

tions could eventually lead to a status com-

parable to a complete ACL tear in a number

of patients. However, a number of patients

will not suffer from instability but could

become symptomatic later on due to secon-

dary cartilage or meniscus degeneration, etc.
