intercondylar impingement, postoperative knee instability, pain
PATHOLOGY, MUCOID DEGENERATION
The mucoid degeneration of the anterior cruciate ligament (MDACL) is a well-known pathology, first described in 1999 [Thus, the purpose of this study was to compare the clinical and radiological outcome between partial resection and complete resection of the ACL in patients with MDACL. Moreover, the extent of postoperative knee instability was assessed in all patients. We hypothesized that partial resection might be the treatment of choice with superior knee stability and similar reduction of intercondylar impingement and pain.
