Assessment of the Relationship Between the Femorotibial Angle and Meniscal Injury with Radiologic Imaging Methods
Journal Title: HASEKİ TIP BÜLTENİ - Year 2019, Vol 57, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim: Our aim in this study was to determine the relationship between femorotibial angle and meniscal injuries and to evaluate the relationship between femorotibial angle and development of osteoarthritis. Methods: One hundred and one patients aged >18 years who had undergone knee magnetic resonance imaging and anterior-posterior radiographs were retrospectively re-evaluated. All magnetic resonance imaging scans of the knee was evaluated for meniscal injury, and femorotibial angle measurements were performed from the knee anterior-posterior radiographs. The relationship between femorotibial angle values and presence of meniscal injury was analyzed statistically. Results: In total, 101 knee joints belonging to 101 patients (55 female, 46 male) were included in the study. The median femorotibial angle value was 4°C (1-12) in the knee joints with medial meniscal injury and 4°C (0-12) in the normal knee joints. This was not statistically significant (p>0.01). The median femorotibial angle value was 5°C (1- 12) in the knee joints with lateral meniscal injury and 4°C (0-12) in the normal knee joints. This was not statistically significant (p>0.01). Conclusion: In our study, there was no statistically significant relationship between femorotibial angle values and presence of injury in medial and lateral menisci.
