Effect of demographic features on morphometric variables of the knee joint: Sample of a 20 to 40-year-old Turkish population
Özet
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI), age, and sex and morphological risk factors that may cause internal knee injuries. The magnetic resonance images of 728 participants who met the inclusion criteria and had a mean age of 34.4?±?6.8 years were analyzed retrospectively. Demographic differences were analyzed by measuring 17 morphological parameters known to be associated with internal knee injuries. Men had a higher anterior cruciate ligament length (ACLL), anterior cruciate ligament width, (ACLW) lateral femoral condylar width (LFCW), medial femoral condylar width (MFCW), lateral femoral condylar depth (LFCD), distal femoral width (DFW), and intercondylar femoral width (IFW) than women (P?<?.05). By contrast, the medial meniscus bone angle (MMBA) was lower in men than in women (P?<?.05). Women aged 31 to 40 years had a lower Insall-Salvati index (ISI) and lateral tibial posterior slope (LTPS) than those aged 21 to 30 years (P?<?.05), whereas men aged 31 to 40 years had a lower ISI than those aged 21 to 30 years (P?<?.05). Women with BMI???30 had a higher LFCW and MFCW but a lower ISI than those with BMI?<?30 (P?<?.05). Men with BMI???30 had a higher LFCW, MFCW, DFW, and MMBA than those with BMI?<?30 (P?<?.05). The use of value ranges structured according to demographic characteristics, rather than a single value range for all patient groups, may contribute to the evaluation and treatment of the morphological features that are thought to be effective in the development of internal knee injuries. These values may also shed light on future radiological risk scoring systems and artificial intelligence applications in medicine. Copyright © 2023 the Author(s).

A new method for diagnosis of anterior cruciate ligament tear: MRI with maximum flexion of knee in the prone position: A case control study
Günaydın, Burak; Şahin, Gülcan Güçer; Sarı, Abdulkadir; Kara, A.; Dinçel, Yaşar Mahsut; Çetin, Mehmet Ümit; Kabukçuoğlu, Yavuz Selim; Tekin, Çağatay (Elsevier Ltd, 2019)Background: The diagnosis of anterior cruciate ligament tear can be made by physical examination and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the supine position. In cases where the tear is partially evaluated on MRI, the choice ... -

Does anterolateral ligament rupture affect functional outcomes in patients who underwent an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction?
Günaydın, Burak; Turgut, A.; Sarı, Abdulkadir; Tekin, Çağatay; Kılınç, B.E.; Kuşak, I.; Kabukçuoğlu, Yavuz Selim (Elsevier Ltd, 2019)Background: Studies have shown that the anterolateral ligament contributes to knee stability. This study aims to compare the results of postoperative physical examinations, knee joint stability tests, and functional ...
