Introduction: Damage to the Anterior Cruciate ligament (ACL) is a very frequently occurring injury. There are reports of the possibility of this injury being associated with the narrow intercondylar notch of the femur Aims: To measure and correlate the dimensions of the Anterior Cruciate ligament and intercondylar notch of the femur in the Indian population. Methodology: 25 knee joints in formalin-fixed cadavers were dissected and anterior cruciate ligaments and corresponding intercondylar notches were measured using vernier callipers. Results: The average length and width of ACL were found to be 38.8 and 9.6 mm. The standard deviations were found to be 2.3 and 1.7 respectively with standard errors being 0.46 and 0.34 respectively. The average width of the intercondylar notch was found to be 11.9, 15.8 and 14.3 mm in the lower, middle and upper parts of the notch respectively. Conclusion: The findings were compared with those of other authors and it was found that the length of ACL was found to be more and the width of the femoral intercondylar notch was found to be less in the Indian population than those reported by other authors. In the present study, 52% of the intercondylar notches had a width less than 17mm. A positive correlation was found between the length of ACL and the width of the middle part of the intercondylar notch. The authors state that it is possible that long ACL may compensate for narrow intercondylar notch and that a finding of short ACL and narrow intercondylar notch may be necessary risk factors for ACL tears.
