Anterior Intercondylar Notch Geometry in Relation to the Native Anterior Cruciate Ligament Size.

The specific shape of the intercondylar notch was associated with the anterior cruciate ligament-anterior intercondylar notch (ACL-aICN) area size correlation, with a strong correlation between ACL and aICN area when the intercondylar notch was A-shaped or W-shaped, and a low correlation when the notch was U- shaped. The specific shape of the intercondylar notch (A-, W-, or U-shape) was associated with the occurrence of both internal and external meniscal injuries, with the U-shaped intercondylar notch morphometry being more frequent in cases with internal meniscal injuries and the W-shape being more common in cases with external meniscal injuries.
