Abstract
Bony risk factors for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries have been investigated during past 2 decades. Deep posterior femoral condylar depth, measured by the lateral femoral condyle ratio, influences anterolateral instability and the graft survival following ACL reconstructions. Before planning of revision ACL reconstruction, other bony risk factors, including the posterior tibial slope and intercondylar notch width, should be carefully evaluated to protect the ACL graft.
