The influence of bony morphology on the magnitude of the pivot shift
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to correlate clinical pivot shift grading with femoral condyle size as measured on pre-operative magnet resonance imaging (MRI) of patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Forty-nine consecutive patients for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery were examined under anesthesia. The pivot shift was graded according to Galway et al. and MacIntosh et al. by a single observer. The grade of pivot shift, …
