Relationship Between the Risk of Suffering a First-Time Noncontact ACL Injury and Geometry of the Femoral Notch and ACL

Abstract

Morphometric features of both the ACL and femoral notch combine to influence the risk of suffering a noncontact ACL injury. When included together in a multivariate model that adjusts for body weight, the effects of the morphometric measurements are similar in male and female patients. If body weight is not taken into consideration, ACL volume is not associated with a risk in female patients.
