Abstract

ACL injuries are extremely common . Concomitant meniscal and chondral injuries add to the treatment cost & inuence the rehabilitation (1) protocol and long term results of ACL reconstruction . Researchers have tried to attribute these associated injuries to delay in (2–4) surgery,age,sex,anthropometric parameters and body mass index(BMI) . This cross sectional study aims to evaluate the association of spectrum (5–8) of meniscal and chondral lesions to the BMI of subjects with ACLinjured knees. We found that though medial and lateral meniscal injuries as well as chondral changes were noted more in subjects with high BMI, the association was not signicant. In subjects with combination of meniscal and chondral lesions, there was no signicant association noted to BMI
