초록
Ramp lesions, commonly observed in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, have been previously defined as longitudinal tears around the meniscocapsular junction. However, the definitions and interpretations of ramp lesions have varied, emphasizing the need to confirm their presence before surgery and the importance of direct visualization using arthroscopy. Recent histological studies have reported new findings on ramp lesions, shedding light on their attachment mechanisms. The anatomical structures around the ramp lesion, such as the posterior horn of medial meniscus (PHMM), semimembranosus (SM), posteromedial (PM) capsule, and meniscotibial ligament (MTL), were assessed regarding how these structures could be attached to each other. The studies of ramp lesions have also contributed to the progression of biomechanical studies explaining the cause and effects of ramp lesions. Ramp lesion has been proven to stabilize the anteroposterior (AP) instability of ACL. In addition, various laboratory studies have demonstrated the relationship between rotational instability of the knee joint and ramp lesions. The analysis of risk factors of ramp lesion helped to understand the injury mechanism of the lesion. Many authors have evaluated the prevalence of ramp lesions in patients with ACL injuries. The development of arthroscopy techniques has influenced the outcomes of ACL reconstruction with the easy detection of ramp lesions. This review article aims to analyze the past findings and recent advancements in anatomical, biomechanical, and epidemiological studies of ramp lesions in patients who underwent ACL reconstruction, and provide various perspectives ramp lesions in patients with ACL reconstruction.
Abstract
Ramp lesions, commonly observed in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, have been previously defined as longitudinal tears around the meniscocapsular junction. However, the definitions and interpretations of ramp lesions have varied, emphasizing the need to confirm their presence before surgery and the importance of direct visualization using arthroscopy. Recent histological studies have reported new findings on ramp lesions, shedding light on their attachment mechanisms. The anatomical structures around the ramp lesion, such as the posterior horn of medial meniscus (PHMM), semimembranosus (SM), posteromedial (PM) capsule, and meniscotibial ligament (MTL), were assessed regarding how these structures could be attached to each other. The studies of ramp lesions have also contributed to the progression of biomechanical studies explaining the cause and effects of ramp lesions. Ramp lesion has been proven to stabilize the anteroposterior (AP) instability of ACL. In addition, various laboratory studies have demonstrated the relationship between rotational instability of the knee joint and ramp lesions. The analysis of risk factors of ramp lesion helped to understand the injury mechanism of the lesion. Many authors have evaluated the prevalence of ramp lesions in patients with ACL injuries. The development of arthroscopy techniques has influenced the outcomes of ACL reconstruction with the easy detection of ramp lesions. This review article aims to analyze the past findings and recent advancements in anatomical, biomechanical, and epidemiological studies of ramp lesions in patients who underwent ACL reconstruction, and provide various perspectives ramp lesions in patients with ACL reconstruction.
