Patients With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture and Ipsilateral Segond Fractures Have High Rates of Concurrent Knee Pathology.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to determine the rates of concomitant knee pathology in patients with ACL injuries and Segond fractures.

Methods

A retrospective study is undertaken with patients identified via query of CPT codes for ACL reconstruction from 2014 to 2020. All patients with preoperative radiographs were reviewed for the presence of Segond fractures. Operative reports were analyzed for the presence of concurrent pathology, including meniscus, cartilage, and other ligamentous injuries at the time of arthroscopic ACL reconstruction.

Results

A total of 1,058 patients were included in the study. Segond fractures were identified in 50 (4.7%) patients. Ipsilateral concomitant knee pathology was identified in 84% of Segond patients. Thirty-eight (76%) pati
