Abstract: The article discusses research which investigated femoral intercondylar notch morphometry in patients with first-time noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Topics explored include the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data of participating ACL-injured patients, the outcome of the femoral notch measurement process, and the comparative analysis of femoral notch morphometry and ACL geometry.
