Purpose The purpose of this study was to measure the femoral intercondylar notch volume using a truncated-pyramid shape simulation and compare this volume between anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injured and intact subjects. Methods Forty-seven subjects diagnosed with ACL tear by MRI (22 male and 25...
