Incidence of anterolateral ligament tears in the anterior cruciate ligament-deficient knee: A magnetic resonance imaging analysis
Arthroscopy Apr 25, 2018
Gaunder c, et al. - Researchers aimed to ascertain the incidence of anterolateral ligament (ALL) tears on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients diagnosed with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears. They also determined the inter- and intraobserver reliability in diagnosing an ALL tear. The patients who had a known ACL tear on MRI did not have a tear of the ALL. As per MSK radiologist, on MRI, ALL tears were 28.2% of the cases, while the orthopaedic surgeon found ALL tears in 39.8% of the cases. Furthermore, a fair interobserver reliability of surgeons and radiologist was noted. When looking for an ALL tear, the musculoskeletal (MSK) radiologist had higher intraobserver reliability.
