| Abstract: | BackgroundAnterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries are often associated with meniscus tears. These meniscus tears in long term may affect the functional outcomes after ACL reconstruction. The present study aims to identify the incidence and relative association of meniscus injuries in complete and partial ACL injuries.MethodsThis was a retrospective study. Patients were divided into 2 groups; group I: partial ACL tear and group 2: complete ACL tear. Both groups were assessed for meniscal tears; either isolated medial/lateral or combined and odds ratio was measured between two groups.ResultsA total of 43 and 219 patients were enrolled in group I and II respectively. The mean age (years) in group I and II were 25.32 ± 7.12 and 28.64 ± 10.84 respectively. There were a total of 5 and 28 females in group I and II respectively. Mean pre-injury Tegner score in group I and II was 7.02 ± 2.87 and 6.82 ± 3.14 respectively. Mean time from injury to surgery (months) in group I and II was 8.04 ± 6.43 and 7.62 ± 4.83 respectively. In group 1 There were a total of 6 with lateral meniscus tears, 9 with medial meniscus tears And 3 with combined meniscal tears in group 1 while in group 2, 47 had lateral meniscal tears, 71 had medial meniscal tears and 71 had combined tears. Group II patients had stronger association for isolated meniscal tears compared to group I, with an odds ratio of 5.05(p < 0.05). Combined meniscal tears had non-significant relation in two groups (p = 0.58).ConclusionPartial ACL injuries present with less risk of acquiring isolated meniscus tears, compared to complete ACL injuries. |
