Summary
Tibial slope and intercondylar notch were considered the most involved anatomical factors in the anterior cruciate ligament
ePosters will be available shortly before Congress
Abstract
Risk factors for anterior-cruciate ligament are multiple some are extrinsic related to the life mode,
others are intrinsic hormonal or anatomical. Studies of knee- anatomy have demonstrated to main
intrinsic shaving a negative impact on the anterior cruciate ligament are tibial slope and intercondylar notch
Methods
Our study was descriptive and retrospective over a period of 4 years from 2017 -20, studying the
size of the intercondylar notch and the tibial slope. All patients had a profile of knee x-ray and an MRI
of the knee
Results
We have collected 40 cases. It is a young and active population with male predominance. We studied
20 cases with the anterior cruciate ligament rupture (group 1) and 20 cases (group2) who consulted for another
reason with an intact anterior cruciate ligament. 20 patients practiced a recreational sport. 10 patients were
former competitors (05 handball, soccer 05).
The comparative analysis among tibial slopes of Group 1 and Group 2, showed a statistically significant increase in
the tibial slope regardless of the method of measurement compared to group 2.
Using the Student's t test (T) shows a significant difference between the group 1 and the group2 on the front
recess and the front ratio (p <0.05) against no significant difference with regard to the frontal
epiphysis (p> 0.05) .The use of the correlation test showed a strong correlation between the front and the front
notch ratio (r = 0.763).
Conclusions
Tibial slope and intercondylar notch were considered the most involved anatomical factors in the
anterior cruciate ligamen
