Comparison of ligament geometry parameters of the MCL and LCL. The MCL had a significantly higher mean aspect ratio than the LCL (*p = 0.025). We did not detect a significant difference between the mean MCL and LCL length or cross-sectional area.
| Ligament Geometry Measures (mean ± standard deviation) | ||
|---|---|---|
| Ligament Geometry Parameter | MCL | LCL |
| Length (mm) | 23.3 ± 8.3 | 24.5 ± 4.5 |
| Area (mm2) | 29.0 ± 8.9 | 32.9 ± 7.3 |
| Aspect Ratio* | 3.0 ± 0.9 | 2.4 ± 0.5 |
