Abstract

Purpose: Measurement of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) using MRI. Subjects and methods: Restrospectively study 40 cases native anterior cruciate ligament using MRI from October/2018 to June/2019,the research ismeasurement of the anterior cruciate ligament using MRI. Results: The average age is 31,75. Male prominent, right knee prominent too. In the sagittal plane,the average ACL length was 36,63 ± 2,15mm; the average in males were 37,07 ± 2,10mm; the average in females were 35,61±2,00 mm; 36,76 ± 2,21 mm in right knee; 36,39 ± 2,10 mm in left knee. In the sagittal plane, the average ACL width was 9,19 ± 1,84mm; the average in males were 9,44 ± 1,85 mm; the average in females were 8,60 ±1,73mm; 9,08±2,00mm in right knee; 9,40 ± 1,57mm in left knee. Conclusion:the result of the research is the average ACL length and the average ACL width. They compared between left and right knees and between genders.
