Severe bicompartmental bone bruise is associated with rotatory instability in anterior cruciate ligament injury.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The presence and severity of bone bruise is more and more investigated in the non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury context. Recent studies have advocated a correlation between bone bruise and preoperative knee laxity. The aim of the present study was to investigate the correlation between bone bruise and preoperative rotatory knee laxity.

Methods

Twenty-nine patients (29.1 ± 9.8 years) with MRI images at a maximum of 3 months after ACL injury (1.6 ± 0.8 months) were included. The bone bruise severity was evaluated according to the International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS) scale for lateral femoral condyle, lateral tibial plateau, medial femoral condyle, and medial tibial plateau. The intraoperative rotational knee laxity was evaluated through a sur
