OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of @entity18564 ( @entity18564 ) injury in @entity1 with acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture and to analyse its associated injury patterns. METHODS: Ninety @entity1 with @entity697 for which MRI was obtained within 8  weeks after the initial @entity130 were retrospectively identified. Two radiologists assessed the status of the @entity18564 on MRI by consensus. The presence or absence of an @entity18564 abnormality was compared with the existence of medial and lateral meniscal tears diagnosed during arthroscopy. Associated collateral ligament and @entity130 were documented with MRI. RESULTS: Forty-one of 90 knees (46  %) demonstrated @entity854 on MRI. Of 49 knees with intact @entity18564 , 15 (31  %) had a torn lateral meniscus as compared to 25 torn lateral menisci in 41 knees (61  %) with abnormal @entity18564 (p   =   0.008). Collateral ligament (p    <=   0.05) and @entity130 (p   =   0.0037) were more frequent and severe in @entity18564 -injured as compared with @entity18564 -intact knees. CONCLUSION: @entity130 are fairly common in @entity1 with @entity697 and are statistically significantly associated with lateral meniscal, collateral ligament and @entity130 . KEY POINTS:     @entity130 are fairly common in @entity1 with @entity697 .     @entity130 are highly associated with lateral meniscal and @entity130 .     MRI assessment of ACL-injured knees should include evaluation of the @entity18564 .

XXXX in @entity1 with @entity697 are associated with lateral meniscal and @entity130 .
