The knee joint assessment to detect anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury after trauma involves clinical examination and radiography. The gold standard method is doing arthroscopy. We did this study seeking to evaluate the effectiveness of other non-invasive diagnostic methods, including the Anterior Drawer test, Lachman test and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in detecting ACL tears after trauma, compared to the reference standard method (the arthroscopy).
