Increased posterior tibial slope results in increased incidence of posterior lateral meniscal root tears in ACL reconstruction patients

ConclusionIn conclusion, LMPRTs in the setting of primary ACL injuries were associated with significantly increased lateral and medial PTSs, and increased asymmetry between lateral and medial PTSs. In addition, clinicians should be aware of the increased incidence of concurrent medial meniscal ramp lesions in patients with LMPRTs. Knowledge of these associations helps guide clinical decision-making and counselling of patients in the setting of ACL tears with concomitant LMPRTs.Level of evidenceIV.
