Nomogram for predicting which meniscus tears are left in situ without treatment at the time of primary ACL reconstruction within the (A) lateral and (B) medial compartments. A vertical line is drawn independently for each variable of interest (tear length, depth, type, location, patient age, BMI), intersecting the “Points” row. The values for each variable of interest are then added and the corresponding value located on the “Total Points” row located. A vertical line is then drawn from this point to the “Linear Predictor” row in order to determine whether a tear was more likely to be treated or left in situ without treatment.
