Two reviewers independently measured lateral and medial anterior tibial translation (ATT). Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) analysis was used to compare the results.Results:The ICC values of measurements of lateral ATT and medial ATT were 0.995 and 0.998, respectively; these values demonstrated almost perfect agreements. Age showed no significant difference between the control and patient groups (P>0.05). Lateral ATT values were lower in the patient group than those in the control group; however, there were no statistically significant differences between the groups (P=0.81). Medial ATT values were significantly lower in the patient groups than in the controls (P<0.05).Conclusions:Our results demonstrated significantly lower medial ATT values in patients with medial meniscus posterior horn tear in ACL-intact knees. However, most studies are dynamic and performed with ACL-ruptured knees or after meniscectomies in either ACL-intact or ACL-ruptured knees.Level of Evidence:Level III.
