The posterior cruciate ligament inclination angle is higher in anterior cruciate ligament insufficiency

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold standard image examination for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) lesion diagnosis. Our hypothesis was that measuring the posterior cruciate ligament inclination angle (PCLIA) using MRI images may be an auxiliary tool to aid the recognition of ACL insufficiency. The purpose of this study was to compare the PCLIA measurement in MRIs of individuals with and without ACL injury.The PCLIA was measured by two...
