“…This is in accordance However in both the ACL-injured and ACL-intact groups, there was no statistical significant differences in NWI, M:L Ratio, ACL angle of inclination between the men and women. Our results are in contrast to the findings by Shelbourne KD and Stijak L [8,9]. Vrooijink et al [16] showed that significant differences were found for bicondylar width (p=0.001), medial condylar width (p=0.002), and lateral condyle width (p=0.002) between male and female subjects.…”

BackgroundACL is one of the most important and commonly injured ligaments in the knee. It originates from the posteromedial surface of the lateral condyle of the femur and inserts onto the anterior part of the proximal tibial intercondylar area. ACL injury can alter the biomechanics of the knee and cause subsequent secondary complications like osteoarthritis and chondromalacia.Most ACL injuries are of the non-contact type. Many studies have investigated constitutional and physical properties of the ACL. The contribution of gender, diameter, volume and crosssectional area of the ACL to ACL strength has been well established. Correlation between body weight, height and age to ACL strength has also been well studied.However, there have been very few studies looking into how Notch Width Index (NWI) and notch volume would contribute to ACL injury. This study utilised MRI to measure notch width, notch height, notch width index, medial condyle-to-lateral condyle ratio and angle of ACL inclination to the vertical axis and to evaluate their impact on ACL injuries in the respective knees.

“…The breadth of the lateral femoral condyle at the level of the popliteal notch amounts to 27 mm, and at the level of the lateral epicondyle, it is 33.5 mm [14]. These results, obtained by direct measurement on macerated thigh bones speak in favour of the fact that by drilling the femoral tunnel perpendicularly to the medial aspect of the lateral condyle, a length of the tunnel which is somewhat greater than the breadth of the condyle at the level of the popliteal notch can be achieved.…”

Background/Aim. The key to successful anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction lies in the proper positioning of the femoral tunnel within the anatomical footprint and in providing for an adequate length of this tunnel without perforation to the lateral cortex. The aim of this study was to determine the change in the length of the femoral tunnel drilled during anatomic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, depending on: the position of the limb being operated on, the degree of knee flexion, as well as the angle between the drill and the medial aspect of the lateral condyle. Methods. This study was performed on 16 cadaveric knees (6 male and 10 female) of the average age of 83. After the subcutaneous tissue was dissected, the femoral insertion of the ACL was identified. Then, 18 tunnels were drilled through the center of the femoral insertion with the help of 2 mm thick Kirschner wires. This was performed in two stages. In the first phase the leg was positioned on an arthroscopic leg holder, while in the second phase the leg was positioned on the table. In each phase the knee was placed in three different flexion positions (110°, 120° and 130°) and for each position three tunnels were drilled (70°, 60° and 50°) in relation to the medial aspect of the lateral condyle. Results. The average length of the femoral tunnel

Correlation between femur's length and morphometric parameters of distal femur important in rupture anterior cruciate ligament

Abstract: Femur's length increasing also produces increasing of absolute anatomical parametars of distal femur which can produce rupture of anterior cruciate ligament, while relative dimensions do not show femur's length increasing.
