ACL lesions, lateral meniscal tears correlated with increased tibial plateau fractures
Increased tibial plateau fracture depression shows a significant impact on ACL lesions and lateral meniscal tears, according to this study.
“Articular depression is a potential predictor of specific meniscal and ligamentous injuries in acute tibial plateau fracture,” Alexander S. Spiro, MD, and colleagues stated in the abstract. “Magnetic resonance imaging is generally recommended with respect to associated soft tissue injuries, especially in cases with distinct tibial plateau fracture depression on multi-detector computer tomography scans.”
Fifty-four consecutive patients with acute tibial plateau fractures were admitted to a university clinic’s emergency department. The amount of articular depression was measured with a multi-detector computer tomography, according to the abstract.
Spiro and colleagues then compared the scans with the patients’ MRI images for meniscal tears, crucial and collateral ligament injuries and patellar retinaculum lesions. After logistical regression, they found increased tibial plateau fractures correlated with incidence of meniscal lateral tears and ACL lesions, while analysis of covariance showed that the amount of articular depression was significantly associated with the absolute number of soft tissues injuries, according to the abstract.
Glad to come across this post. I would like to also share about sports doctor in manhattan, who are specialist in sports injuries.
