Table 2 Summary Statistics for Regional ACL Vascularity by Gender

From: Differential regional perfusion of the human anterior cruciate ligament: quantitative magnetic resonance imaging assessment

Region	Male^a	Female^a	Difference ^b	95% CI	P
Proximal	66.9% (17.3%)	47.8% (13.0%)	19.1%	1.5% to 36.7%	0.036
Middle	19.0% (12.1%)	35.1% (12.9%)	−16.1%	−30.9% to − 1.3%	0.036
Distal	14.1% (17.5%)	17.1% (16.4%)	−3.02%	−22.9% to 16.9%	0.75

^aData are presented as mean (standard deviation). Percentage value represents percentage of total ACL vascularity
^bDifference is calculated as Male value - Female value (positive represents greater value from Male group)
