Résumé
The purpose of this study was to reveal the correlation and proportion between the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) cross-sectional area and the femoral intercondylar notch area. Sixty-three subjects (33 female and 30 male) less than 50 years old were included in this study. All subjects complained of knee pain, although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed no structural damage of the knee. Using the T2 axial slice of the MRI perpendicular to the bone shaft, the ACL cross-sectional area and the femoral intercondylar notch area were measured. Measurements were made at the most proximal (S1), ⅓ (S2), ⅔ (S3), and the most distal (S4) Blumensaat's line levels. The correlation and the proportion between the ACL cross-sectional area and the notch area were calculated. The ACL cross-sectional area was: S1: 35.9 ± 10mm
