Shallow Medial Tibial Plateau and Steep Medial and Lateral Tibial Slopes: New Risk Factors for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries

Abstract

A combination of increased posterior-directed tibial plateau slope and shallow medial tibial plateau depth could be a major risk factor in anterior cruciate ligament injury susceptibility regardless of gender. Different injury risk models may be needed for men and women as other key risk factors are identified.
