ACL injuries are extremely common . Concomitant meniscal and chondral injuries add to the treatment cost & inuence the rehabilitation (1)
protocol and long term results of ACL reconstruction . Researchers have tried to attribute these associated injuries to delay in
(2–4)
surgery,age,sex,anthropometric parameters and body mass index(BMI) . This cross sectional study aims to evaluate the association of spectrum (5–8)
of meniscal and chondral lesions to the BMI of subjects with ACLinjured knees. We found that though medial and lateral meniscal injuries as well
as chondral changes were noted more in subjects with high BMI, the association was not signicant. In subjects with combination of meniscal and
chondral lesions, there was no signicant association noted to BMI
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
