Table 2 MRI assessment: 20 years post-operative
SUBJECT | RADIOLOGIST COMMENTS | ACL STATUS |
|---|---|---|
P-01 | The ACL graft fibers are intact. The posterior cruciate ligament is intact. Horizontal tear of the posterior horn and body of the lateral meniscus with a small peripheral body extrusion (Fig. 5A.) | Stable |
P-03 | Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with an intact graft. Femoral tunnel in the 11 o'clock position in the coronal plane and tibial tunnel in the middle third of the tibial plateau. The moderately blunted appearance of the posterior horn and body of the medial meniscus is consistent with prior partial meniscectomy (Fig. 5B) | Stable |
P-04 | Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is intact without a tear. Mild remote injury of the proximal medial collateral ligament. Blunting of the medial meniscus body free edge is consistent with prior partial meniscectomy (Fig. 5C) | Stable |
P-07 | Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is unchanged. Postsurgical changes of medial meniscal allograft transplantation [17 years post-Z Lig™ implantation] with grade 2 signal noted in the posterior horn but otherwise intact graft (Fig. 5D) | Stable |
P-10 | Lost to follow-up |
