Abstract

Objective: To assess the incidence of the associated meniscal ligament (ML) with the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears in hospital A in Medina-KSA. And to see the effect of sports activities in comparison between males and females.  Materials and Methods: In a retrospective study, ninety-nine patients' knee magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) records were selected conveniently from the (A) hospital's picture archiving and communication system (PACS). Patients with suspected anterior cruciate and meniscal ligament' tears were included. Patients with posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tear, medial collateral ligament (MCL) or lateral collateral ligament (LCL) injury, and previously operated index knees were excluded. All patients were scanned by a 1.5T MRI machine using standard MRI knee scanning protocol. The categorical and continuous variables were presented as percentages, frequencies, and descriptive statistics. The cross-tabulations and chi-square test were applied to obtain the statistical associations between the study variables. A statistical association was considered significant if the P-value was < 0.05.  Results: 72 males and 27 females were included, with a mean age of 33 ± 2.43. 42.4% of the knee tears were ML tears, followed by associated (ACL with ML) tears, noted in 31.3%, and 26.3% were ACL tears. The tears were more frequent in the age group (31-40), reported in 35.3% (out of 99). There was no statistical association between the tears and the participants' age, gender, or sports activities; P value = 0.3, 0.5, and 0.9, respectively.  Conclusion: The study concluded that the isolated ML tears were more frequent than the associated (ACL with ML) tears—moreover, there was no significant statistical association between the participants' age, gender, or sports activities.

前十字韧带(ACL)撕裂时相关半月板韧带(ML)的发生率
目的评估沙特阿拉伯麦地那A医院前交叉韧带(ACL)撕裂伴发半月板韧带(ML)的发生率。并比较男性和女性体育活动的影响。 材料和方法:在一项回顾性研究中,从(A)医院的图片存档和通信系统(PACS)中方便地选取了 99 名患者的膝关节磁共振成像(MRI)记录。其中包括疑似前交叉韧带和半月板韧带撕裂的患者。不包括后交叉韧带(PCL)撕裂、内侧副韧带(MCL)或外侧副韧带(LCL)损伤的患者,以及曾接受过手术的膝关节。所有患者均使用 1.5T 核磁共振成像仪,按照标准核磁共振成像膝关节扫描方案进行扫描。分类变量和连续变量以百分比、频率和描述性统计呈现。交叉分析和卡方检验用于获得研究变量之间的统计学关联。如果 P 值小于 0.05,则认为统计关联显著。 结果研究对象中有 72 名男性和 27 名女性,平均年龄为 33±2.43 岁。42.4%的膝关节撕裂为ML撕裂,31.3%为伴发撕裂(前交叉韧带与ML),26.3%为前交叉韧带撕裂。膝关节撕裂多发于 31-40 岁年龄组,在 99 人中占 35.3%。这些撕裂与参与者的年龄、性别或体育活动之间没有统计学关联;P 值分别为 0.3、0.5 和 0.9。 结论该研究得出结论,孤立的前交叉韧带撕裂比伴有前交叉韧带撕裂的前交叉韧带撕裂更常见,此外,参与者的年龄、性别或体育活动与前交叉韧带撕裂没有明显的统计学关联。
