“…Meniscal tears after an acute rupture of the ACL were found in 24.4% of cases, but that percentage increased in the ACL-deficient knee up to 61.6% of cases. Injuries of the MM were predominant in both cases [14]. In this study, meniscal tears were present in 77.3% of the knees with a recent ACL tear.…”

Arthroscopic diagnosis was used to determine the incidence of the most frequent injuries to the knee's internal structures associated with ACL tear as well as ones without ACL tear. The most frequent finding associated with a recent ACL tear was the LM tear (72.7%). There is a statistically significant incidence of recent LM tear in knees with a recent ACL tear compared with recently injured knees without an ACL tear (P < 0.001). A statistically significant incidence of longitudinal LM tear was found in knees with a recent ACL tear compared with recently injured knees without an ACL tear (P < 0.001). Longitudinal tears were present in 63.6% of the knees with a recent ACL tear or in 87.5% of all knees with a recent LM tear. No statistically significant difference was found in the incidence of LM tear in the knees with a recent ACL tear compared to the incidence of LM tear in knees with an old ACL tear (P > 0.05). The posterior horn was most frequently injured (71.5% vs 64.0%). A significant difference between the findings in the various patient groups studied supports the hypothesis that longitudinal LM tears in an ACL-deficient knee do not involve secondary meniscal pathology but that their onset derives from a primary recent injury. Most probably, the recent LM lesion does not evolve in meniscal length and depth. This hypothesis needs thorough investigation.

“…It is known that medial meniscal tears are more prevalent than lateral meniscal tears in patients with chronic ACL injuries, but it is not known whether medial or lateral meniscal tears are more prevalent in patients with acute ACL ruptures 26,33,34 . The prevalence of MCL injury in the present study was 22%, and the reported prevalence has ranged from 24% to 44% 13,15,24,28,31 (see Appendix). The prevalence of MCL injury also showed borderline significance according to the progression of bone contusion.…”

Bone contusions were prevalent in patients with ACL ruptures, and injuries of the menisci and the MCL tended to increase with the progression of bone contusion. The contrecoup mechanism of bone contusion on the medial compartment resulting from an ACL injury was supported. These results suggest that a higher-energy injury led to a more extensive bone contusion and a greater prevalence of associated injury of other anatomic structures in the knee.

“…The natural history association between ACL injury, subsequent meniscal injury 65,66 , subsequent knee surgery, and eventual degenerative joint disease has been described with longitudinal studies [15][16][17] . Our review suggests that patients who undergo ACL reconstruction are less likely to undergo subsequent meniscal surgery compared with patients with ACL deficiency treated nonoperatively.…”
