To evaluate the possible relationship between femoral intercondylar notch stenosis and anterior cruciate ligament injuries in pivoting and cutting sports, a 2-year prospective study was performed on intercollegiate athletes at a Division I university. Daily practice times and athlete participation in practices and games were recorded for each sport during the 2-year period. Bilateral intercondy...

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY We analyzed a group of patients surgically treated for fractures of the intercondylar eminence of the tibia in the Department of Orthopedics in Pilsen between 1992 and 2002, and evaluated the results of this treatment on the basis of objective examination and comparison with the relevant literature data. We describe indications for surgical treatment and the surgical method...

BACKGROUND The factors associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are not completely clear. Some studies have shown that patients with a narrow intercondylar notch have a predisposition for ACL tears. PURPOSE To determine the relationship between the α angle and intercondylar notch width measurements and ACL tears. STUDY DESIGN Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS...

Abstract Background Several studies on the relationship between morphological parameters and traumatic diseases of knee have already been conducted. However, few focused association morphology posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) avulsion fracture in adults. The objective this study was to evaluate impact PCL fracture. Methods 76 patients (comprised 40 men 36 women) with age- sex-matched controls ...

In a sample which included subjects of the Croatian population we made measurements of intercondylar distances between the temporomandibular joints in radiographs. A total of 101 subjects of both sexes ranging in age from 20 to 80 years, mostly residents in Zagreb, were evaluated. We measured the intercondylar distances from the condyle centers in the postero-anterior cranial radiographs which ...

Morphological characteristics of the proximal tibia affect orthopedic balance knee region. Such as width condyles, tibial plateau angle, position patella; Intercondylar is one these features well. The objectives this study are to calculate intercondylar index (ICWI) in dogs, determine if there gender-related differences ICWI, and compare ICWI among six breeds dog. For aims, bones 84 dogs from 2...

Tibial eminence fracture, a bony avulsion of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) from its insertion on the intercondylar eminence, was first described by Poncet in 1875. Also known as tibial spine fractures, these injuries occur most commonly in skeletally immature patients between the ages of 8 and 14 years. They account for 2% to 5% of knee injuries in the pediatric population and 14% of ACL...

OBJECTIVE To assess femoral cartilage thickness in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). SUBJECTS Forty-six patients with SCI (35 men, 11 women; mean age: 33.6 years (standard deviation 8.1) and 46 age-, sex- and body mass index (BMI)-matched healthy subjects were enrolled. METHODS Patients were evaluated with the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) Impairment Scale, Modified Ashwor...
