Incidence and geographic mapping of meniscal tears in acute ACL injuries with meticulous posterior arthroscopic evaluation: longitudinal tears at the posterior menisco-capsular junction are the most common tear pattern in acute ACL injuries

Longitudinal tears at the menisco-capsular junction are the most common tear pattern in acute ACL injuries, revealing a higher incidence than previously reported. In acute ACL injuries, Zones A0-A1 and F0-F1 should be meticulously evaluated using an intercondylar notch view with a 70-degree arthroscope or via a posteromedial/posterolateral portal as a viewing portal.
