| Popis: | A new sign of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear based on secondary changes of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is described. Thirty-one patients with magnetic resonance (MR) examinations of the knee suspicious for ACL injury and 50 normal controls were examined. In each patient a line was drawn adjacent and parallel to the posterior margin of the distal portion of the PCL and was extended proximally. A positive PCL line did not intersect the medullary cavity of the femur. A positive line correctly predicted ACL injury in 19 of 22 patients. |
