Risk of Noncontact Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries Is Not Associated With Slope and Concavity of the Tibial Plateau in Recreational Alpine Skiers: A Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Based Case-Control Study of 121 Patients

Conclusion:
Despite differences between sexes in knee anatomy and the injury risk, the sagittal and coronal slopes (LTS, MTS, CTS), as well as the concavity of the medial tibial plateau (MTD), were not associated with the risk of an ACL tear during a noncontact injury among recreational alpine skiers.
