Abstract

Objectives: This study evaluates the diagnostic value of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-medial tibial plateau angle in ACL tears. Patients and methods: Ten male patients (mean age 34.6±11.3 years; range 21 to 51 years) who were diagnosed with ACL rupture and operated on in our clinic between October 2007 and May 2008 were retrospectively evaluated. The patients had preoperative 1.5 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) followed by diagnostic and therapeutic arthroscopy. Ten male controls (mean age 40.2±13.0 years; range 21 to 56 years) were chosen from among the other patients who had routine MRI and arthroscopy but whose ACL was healthy. Magnetic resonance images of the patients and controls were evaluated by two radiologists. The ACL-medial tibial plateau angle was measured for each patient and control subject. Results: The mean value of the ACL-medial tibial plateau angle for the torn ACL patients (59.5±1.3°) was significantly lower than the mean value of the control group (68.1±3.5°). Conclusion: The ACL- medial tibial plateau angle measurement in both total and partial ACL tears decreases below the normal values and is helpful for diagnosis especially in clinically doubtful patients

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada ön çapraz bağ (ÖÇB) yırtıklarında ÖÇB-medial tibial plato açısının tanısal değeri araştırıldı. Hastalar ve yöntemler: Ekim 2007 - Mayıs 2008 tarihleri arasında kliniğimizde ÖÇB yırtığı tanısı konulan ve ameliyat edilen 10 erkek hasta (ort. yaş 34.6±11.3 yıl; dağılım 21-51 yıl) geriye yönelik olarak değerlendirildi. Ameliyat öncesi, hastalara öncelikle 1.5 Tesla cihazı ile manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) ve ardından tanı ve tedavi amaçlı artroskopi yapıldı. Kontrol grubundaki 10 erkek birey (ort. yaş 40.2±13.0 yıl; dağılım 21-56 yıl) rutin diz MRG incelemesi ve artroskopisi yapılan, ancak ÖÇB’si sağlam olan diğer hastalar arasından seçildi. Hastaların ve kontrollerin MRG’leri iki radyolog tarafından değerlendirildi. Hasta ve kontrol grubunda her bir bireyin ÖÇB-medial tibial plato açıları ölçüldü. Bulgular: Ön çapraz bağ yırtığı olan hastalarda ortalama ÖÇB-medial tibial plato açısı değerleri (59.5±1.3°), kontrol grubunun ortalama değerlerine göre (68.1±3.5°) önemli ölçüde düşüktü. Sonuç: Ön çapraz bağ-medial tibial plato açısı değerleri hem tam, hem de kısmi ÖÇB yırtıklarında normal değerlerin altına düşer ve özellikle klinik açıdan şüpheli olgularda tanıya yardımcı olur.
