Video Summary

In this video, Daniel Green presents a study on the asymmetry of the medial and lateral posterior femoral condyles and its relationship to ACL injury risk in a pediatric group. The study found that the medial posterior condylar height was greater than the lateral height, but in the ACL group, the difference between the two was nearly 2 millimeters, which was statistically significant. The study also found a subtle difference in version, with external distal femoral version being greater in the ACL group. The increased asymmetry of the posterior femoral condyles appears to be associated with pediatric ACL tears, suggesting it could be a non-modifiable risk factor.
