Our study confirms the previous MRI study
which done by Hudek
et al.
[6] who found that
a greater lateral MS in the patients with ACL
injuries, which leads to the suggestion that a
greater lateral MS is associated with a greater
risk for noncontact ACL injury, they found also
uninjured women had a greater PTS and MS
than men (Table 5). Therefore, in ACL surgery
it may be beneficial to preserve particularly the
lateral meniscus or to reconstruct it to improve
sagittal stability and prevent the progression of
osteoarthritis.
