Posterior Tibial Slope and High-Severity Meniscal Tears With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury
Our study shows that neither medial nor lateral PTS was associated with high-severity meniscal tears in patients undergoing ACLR within 1 year of injury, given the available numbers in this study. While BMI was an independent factor associated with meniscal tear severity, delays in surgery did not increase the odds of severe meniscal tear incidence when taking into account PTS. Our study does not support the use of PTS to alter the timing or indications for ACLR out of concern for an increase in the severity of encountered meniscal tears.
