Abstract
» Ramp lesions occur in up to 40% of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and are easily missed without systematic posteromedial inspection.» Magnetic resonance imaging has 70% sensitivity; arthroscopic probing using the posteromedial portal remains the diagnostic gold standard.» Unstable ramp lesions require repair; stable lesions may heal spontaneously with ACL reconstruction.» Repair restores knee stability and yields excellent outcomes comparable with isolated ACL reconstruction.» Return-to-sport rates exceed 80%, with rehabilitation mirroring standard ACL reconstruction protocols.
