Abstract:PurposeThe purpose of this study was to study the relationship between the presence of a deep lateral femoral notch sign (DLFNS) in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)‐injured patients and a higher posterior lateral tibial slope (LPTS), a reduced meniscal bone angle (MBA), a higher LPTS/MBA ratio and a higher incidence of concomitant injuries in primary ACL tears.MethodsA retrospective case‐control study was performed in patients submitted to primary ACL reconstruction with an available preoperative magnetic reso… Show more
