The posterior cruciate ligament-posterior femoral cortex angle: a reliable and accurate MRI method to quantify the buckling phenomenon of the PCL in ACL-deficient knees

The posterior cruciate ligament inclination angle is higher in anterior cruciate ligament insufficiency

Julio Cesar Gali et al.

Summary: MRI measurement of the posterior cruciate ligament inclination angle (PCLIA) may be an auxiliary tool in aiding the recognition of ACL insufficiency, with higher PCLIA values observed in individuals with ACL injuries compared to those without. This could potentially lead to more personalized and precise treatment approaches for ACL injuries.

Side-to-side anterior tibial translation on monopodal weightbearing radiographs as a sign of knee decompensation in ACL-deficient knees

Luca Macchiarola et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the influence of time from injury and meniscus tears on the side-to-side difference in anterior tibial translation (SSD-ATT) in ACL deficient patients. Results showed that SSD-ATT was significantly greater in secondary ACL deficiencies, patients with a time from injury greater than 4 years, and with at least one meniscal tear.

The correlation between posterior cruciate ligament buckling sign and meniscofemoral ligaments: A radiological study

Abdulkadir Polat et al.

Summary: The study found that the PCL buckling sign is not specific to ACL ruptures, and it is frequently observed in normal knee joints, strongly associated with the presence of the aMFL of Humphrey.
