Abstract

Objectives

ACL reconstruction tunnel location is an important predictor for outcomes after surgery. The aim was to establish 3D and 2D MRI radiological measurements for native ACL tibial footprint that can provide information to facilitate pre-operative planning for anatomical graft placement. The measurements were also correlated in a subset of patients on arthroscopy.

Methods

Retrospective evaluation of a consecutive series of knee MRIs with both 2D and 3D MR imaging was performed in 101 patients with 43 men and 66 women and ages 39.5 ± 11.9 years. Two measurements were obtained, tibial to ACL and intermeniscal ligament to ACL (T-ACL) and (IM-ACL), respectively. In a cohort of 18 patients who underwent knee arthroscopy, the T-ACL and IML-ACL distances were also determined by an orthopedic surgeon using a standard scale. ICC, Pearson correlation, and Bland-Altman plot were generated.

Results

For readers 1 and 2, the mean differences between 2D and 3D measurements of T-ACL and IM-ACL were 1.17 and 1.03 mm and 0.65 and 0.65 mm, respectively. The 2D measurements of T-ACL and IM-ACL were larger than the 3D measurements for both readers. The inter-reader reliability was excellent on 2D (0.81–0.96) and fair to excellent on 3D MRI (0.59–0.90). The mean arthroscopic IML-ACL was closer to that of 3D MRI compared to 2D MRI. The mean arthroscopic T-ACL was closer to 2D MRI than 3D MRI.

Conclusions

Both 2D and 3D MRI show inter-reader reliability with small inter-modality mean differences in the measurements from the tibial or inter-meniscal ligament margins.

Key Points

• The mean differences between 2D and 3D measurements of tibia-ACL and intermeniscal ligament-ACL are small (< 1.2 mm).

• As compared to arthroscopy, the mean T-ACL and IML-ACL were closer to measurements from 2D and 3D MRI, respectively.

• Both 2D and 3D MRI can be reliably used to delineate ACL foot plate anatomy.
