Abstract
Objective: To compare the accuracy of arthroscopy with MRI in diagnosing ramp lesions associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries.
Design: Prospective observational study. Material and Methods: We included 100 patients with complete ACL tear.
Exclusion criteria: 1) Partial ACL tear, 2) ACL revision surgery or previous knee surgery, 3) Multi-ligamentous knee injury, 4) Extensive medial meniscus tear. Results: Nine patients were diagnosed with ACL-associated ramp lesions. All nine had magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signs, but these were not statistically significant ( 2=1.884, FEp=0.348). Mean medial meniscal slope for patients with ramp lesions was 2.88 +- 0.46, without was 2.47 +- 0.55 (T=2.146, P=0.034), implying statistical significance as visualized by arthroscopy. Arthroscopy is superior in diagnosing ramp lesions.
Conclusion: Arthroscopy is superior in diagnosing ramp lesions due to cost-effectiveness, direct visualization, and immediate treatment capability. The absence of specific MRI signs for ramp lesions further supports this conclusion.
期刊介绍:
Chirurgia is a bimonthly journal. In Chirurgia, original papers in the area of general surgery which neither
appeared, nor were sent for publication in other periodicals, can be published. You can send original articles,
new surgical techniques, or comprehensive general reports on surgical topics, clinical case presentations and,
depending on publication space, - reviews of some articles of general interest to surgeons from other publications.
Chirurgia is also a place for sharing information about the activity of various branches of the Romanian Society of
Surgery, information on Congresses and Symposiums organized by the Romanian Society of Surgery and
participation notes in other scientific meetings.
Letters to the editor: Letters commenting on papers published in Chirurgia are welcomed. They should contain
substantive ideas and commentaries supported by appropriate data, and should not exceed 2 pages. Please
submit these letters to the editor through our online system.
