Abstract:
BACKGROUND:With the development of sports medicine and research of radiologic imaging techniques, Blumensaat line (the radio-opaque line at the roof of the intercondylar notch) has been paid increasing attention. Blumensaat line is considered as measurement indexes of knee diseases. Taking advantage of the Blumensaat line, many surgeons and radiography physicians are trying to diagnose some knee diseases. OBJECTIVE:According to the knowledge about Blumensaat line in auxiliary diagnosis of knee disease, we hoped that it wil have a wide application in clinic. METHODS:A computer-based online search of CBM, CNKI, Wangfang Database and PubMed between 2000 and 2015 was performed for articles addressing Blumensaat line. We summarized its application as different diagnostic indicators. The key words were patel a alta, Blumensaat line, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and ACL reconstruction. Thirty-nine studies were accorded with the inclusion criteria. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Blumensaat line represents the tangential y hit part of the roof in the intercondylar fossa. The line can be used for diagnosing ACL injuries and directing ACL restruction. (1) Blumensaat line and patel a alta:Patel a heights can be measured with the use of Blumensaat method, modified Blumensaat method and modified Blumensaat ratio. Modified Blumensaat ratio was found by Japanese researchers in 2014 and it is efficient. (2) Blumensaat line and ACL injuries:Blumensaat angle is formed by Blumensaat line and ACL. If this angle is negative or it is greater than 15°, we can draw a conclusion that the ACL was hurt. (3) Harner’s method can be used for choosing an accurate isometric point and a perfect bone tunnel’s angel in ACL reconstruction.
