Abstract
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and subsequent changes in articular cartilage thickness about the tibial, femoral, and patellar surfaces are associated with early-onset post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of non-contact ACL injury on posterior-horn meniscal centroid (PHMC) position in the lateral and medial compartments for males and females. We hypothesized that increased posterior-directed PHMC position would be observed in ACL-injured knees when compared to normal contralateral knees in male and female subjects. Significant posterior-directed changes in PHMC position were observed in the lateral and medial compartments of ACL-injured males and females.
