Abstract
Sixty-two athletes whose injured knees had negligible instability were found to have an absent or functionless anterior cruciate ligament at the time of medial meniscectomy. After a mean of 52 months of followup, 51 patients were examined, 24 (47) had returned to full sport activities, whereas 27 (53) acknowledged incidents of the knee giving way or having completely given up sports because of instability. By analyzing the following variables, the jerk test, the type of meniscal lesion, and the type of sports engaged, we formulated a rating system to be used intraoperatively for determing the need for combining meniscectomy with a ligament reconstruction.
