简要总结
ACL tears are divided into two as total and partial. There is no consensus on the criteria for the diagnosis of a partial ACL tear [1]. Although partial tears are defined as one of the anteromedial (AM) and posterolateral (PL) bundles being intact and the other being ruptured, they are also defined as the continuity of some of the tendons between the femoral and tibial attachment of the ACL [2]. Among all ACL tears, the rate of partial ACL tears was found as 10-35% [3]. The continuation of rotational instability in some patients after ACL reconstruction suggested that additional support structures are effective in stability. In later studies, it was shown that the anterolateral ligament (ALL) also contributes to stability together with the ACL of the knee [3-7]. The study aimed to retrospectively determine the effect of ALL status, whether intact or ruptured, on the choice of treatment in patients with partial ACL tears.

入选标准
- •Following the orthopedic examinations and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed between 2016 and 2018, a total of 120 patients with suspected partial ACL tears and with meniscal and cartilage lesions requiring arthroscopic knee surgery were identified. After examining the ALLs of these patients using MRI, 60 patients who were diagnosable and had sufficient follow-up were included in the study retrospectively.
排除标准
- •The patients who are not diagnosable for ALL status using MRI, with total ACL tears in MRI, and at the same time with physical examination findings suggestive of total ACL tears were excluded from the study. Patients with a follow-up of less than one year were excluded from the study.
