Abstract
The purpose of this investigation was twofold. In Part I, we determined the accuracy of morphometric analysis of the knee using magnetic resonance imaging and plain film radiography. The results of Part I validated the accuracy of magnetic resonance measurements and its superiority over plain film measurements. In Part II, we evaluated knee morphometry in 20 asymptomatic athletes with chronic anterior cruciate ligament insufficiency to determine if any predisposing factors to anterior cruciate ligament disruption could be detected. With our analysis, we could detect no predisposing factors to explain the anterior cruciate ligament disruption in the cohort group.
