Video Summary

In this video, Daniel Green discusses a study about the asymmetry of the medial lateral condyles and its relationship to ACL injury risk in a pediatric group. The study examined the morphology of the posterior femoral condyles in pediatric patients with ACL tears. They found that the medial posterior condyle was significantly higher than the lateral posterior condyle in the ACL group, indicating increased asymmetry. They also noticed a subtle difference in version, with external distal femoral version being greater in the ACL group. This study suggests that asymmetry of the posterior femoral condyles may be another non-modifiable risk factor for ACL tears in children.
